And Anther Counsel for Applicant :- Adarsh Shukla,Prabhakar Awasthi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Rajeev Misra,J. 1. Heard Mr. Manish Tiwari, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. Prabhakar Awasthi, the learned counsel for applicant and the learned A.G.A. for State. 2. Perused the record. 3. Applicant-Kapil @ Anmol Gulati, who is a charge sheeted accused, has approached this Court by means of present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with the following prayer:- "It is, therefore, Most Respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to set-aside/ quash the entire criminal proceedings alongside the impugned Charge-Sheet dated 31.10.2022, the impugned Cognizance order as well as the impugned Summoning order dated 15.03.2024 in Case no.-30517 of 2024 (Session Case No.908 of 2024) in State of Uttar Pradesh vs Kapil @ Anmol Gulati arising out of Case Crime No.0186 of 2021 under Sections 376, 313 & 323 of I.P.C., Police Station- Nawabganj, District- Kanpur Nagar, and/or to pass such other and further order(s) as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. It is also further prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to stay entire criminal proceedings of Case.30517 of 2024 (Session Case No.908 of 2024) in State of Uttar Pradesh Vs. Kapil @ Anmol Gulati arising out of Case Crime No.0186 of 2021, U/s 376, 313 & 323 of I.P.C., Police Station-Nawabganj, District- Kanpur Nagar, pending in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge/ F.T.C.-41, Kanpur Nagar, and/or to pass such other and further order(s) as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case otherwise the Applicant shall suffer an irreparable loss and injury." 4. At the very outset, the learned A.G.A. submits that applicant has rushed to this Court by filing the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. without availing statutory remedy available under Section 227 Cr.P.C. Learned A.G.A. further submits that Court below can deal with the grounds raised in support of this application threadbare at the first instance as it has the advantage of original record. On the above premise, the learned A.G.A. submits that no interference is warranted by this Court in present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 5. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for applicant could not overcome the same. 6. Having heard the learned counsel for applicant, the learned A.G.A. for State and upon perusal of record, this Court finds that no useful purpose shall be served in keeping this application pending, as the grounds raised by the learned counsel for applicant in support of this application can very well be examined by Court below meticulously at the time of deciding the discharge application as Court below has the advantage of having the original record. 7. Accordingly this application is disposed off finally with a direction to the applicant to approach Court below by filing a discharge application in terms of Section 227 Cr.P.C. seeking his discharge in above mentioned criminal case. In case, such a discharge application is filed by applicant within a period of two weeks from today along with a certified copy of this order, the Court below shall proceed to decide the same by a reasoned and speaking order within a period of two months thereafter, provided there is no other legal impediment. 8. It goes without saying that till the disposal of discharge application as directed above, Court below shall not proceed further with the matter.
