Can application for discharge u/sec.227 given in court be removed?


02-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
In a criminal case (State v/s) where the charges (u/sec 301,394,411 IPC) have not been framed yet, can a application for discharge u/sec.227 CrPC be given in the court on the next date & ask the court to remove only one section i.e. 411 IPC on the basis of evidence? It's a case against Unknown in FIR and also a circumstantial evidence case and there is no direct evidence on record that anyone has seen the accused going inside or coming outside of the house of murdered, or has seen accused committing the murder crime or in the murdered's company on that day. Any cctv footage or any electronic evidence is also not there. The recovery of 1.5 lacs rupees inr and weapon of assault hammer (without finger prints) is shown to be recovered from his house and a gold necklace & pearl mala are shown to be recovered allegedly from railway station dustbin allegedly after 36 hours of putting it there. In those 36 hours that same dustbin was cleaned 5 times as per 2 RTI replies from India Railways.
