Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:10046 Court No. - 14 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 6014 of 2013 Applicant :- Ramesh Kumar Yadav Opposite Party :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Applicant :- Balram Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party :- Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Subhash Chandra Sharma,J. Notice has been served to opposite party but no one has turned up on behalf of opposite party. Heard leaned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. The present application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the applicant with prayer to quash/set aside the impugned criminal proceedings of Criminal Case No. 912 of 2011 (State Vs. Jag Prasad and others), under Section 427 and 504 IPC; impugned permission order dated 15.2.2011, impugned cognizance order dated 12.7.2011 and the chargesheet dated 19.4.2011 filed in N.C.R. No. 6 of 2011; dated 7.1.2011 under Section 427, 504 IPC, Police Station Inayatnagar, District Faizabad. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that there is civil litigation between the parties regarding land on which bamboo is said to be cut by the applicant. The land is owned by the applicant even though N.C.R. was lodged by the opposite party with false allegations under Section 427, 504 IPC and permission was also obtained from the learned Magistrate illegally under Section 155(2) Cr.P.C. After investigation, charge sheet was filed. It is further submitted that there is no material on record to show that any bamboo was cut by the applicants and mischief was caused to the opposite party, therefore, request to quash the entire proceedings of the case. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer as aforesaid. On considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A., perusal of record, the contents in the N.C.R., permission granted by the learned Magistrate and police report, it appears that there is allegation on the part of opposite party/informant against the applicant that bamboo were cut from the land of the opposite party. When he was objected, he abused him that was the reason N.C.R. was lodged under Section 425, 504 IPC and thereafter permission was given by the learned Magistrate on the application of informant under Section 155(2) Cr.P.C. as a result investigation was done and police report was filed. Since matter involves the question relating to the facts and law, therefore, it cannot be decided at present stage and veracity can also not be decided but it is possible only during trial, therefore, no relief can be granted in favour of applicant for quashing of criminal proceedings of the case. However, applicant may have option to move discharge before the learned court concerned through counsel within a period of 45 days from today that will be considered and disposed of in accordance with law. Accordingly, the present application is disposed of finally. Order Date :- 17.2.2025 Anurag Singh Digitally signed by :- ANURAG SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
