1. Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned A.G.A. for the State and learned counsel for the respondent no.2 and perused the material available on record.
2. This criminal appeal under Section 14-A (1) Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (in short 'the SC/ST Act') has been preferred by the appellants with the prayer to quash the impugned order dated 1.9.2025 passed by the learned Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Firozabad in Special Session Case no. 872 of 2022, (Smt. Usha Vs. Sudheer and others), arising out of Complaint Case no. 872 of 2022, under Section 376, 504, 506, IPC and 3 (2) 5 SC/ST Act, P.S. Tundla, District Firozabad whereby discharge application moved by the appellants has been rejected.
3. I have gone through the impugned order. Impugned order itself reflects the statements of the victim and witnesses have already been recorded and the grounds taken for discharge cannot be considered at this stage as truthfulness, sufficiency and acceptability of the evidence produced by the accused can be adjudged during trial. The impugned order passed by the court below is well in conformity in law and does not suffer from error of illegality, irregularity and warrant any interference by this Court.
4. The appeal is without merit and is hereby dismissed.
