Home Deptt. Lko. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Alok Kumar Mishra,Abhishek Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Saurabh Lavania,J.

No. 867/2024 (State Versus Sachin) arising out of impugned charge-sheet No. 423/2023, dated 25.12.2023 filed by the investigating officer in Case Crime No. 0400/2023 Under Section-376, 452, 354 & 506 I.P.C. pertaining to Police Station-Pali, District-Hardoi as well against the impugned summoning order dated 31.01.2024 passed by the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate- First, Hardoi in S.T. No. 867/2024 (State Versus Sachin), contained as Annexure No. 1 & 2 respectively to the instant petition." A perusal of above quoted relief as also the contents of the instant application would indicate that the applicant has approached this Court for quashing the entire proceedings of S.T. No. 867/2024 (State Versus Sachin) arising out of Case Crime No. 0400/2023, under Sections-376, 452, 354 & 506 I.P.C., Police Station- Pali, District- Hardoi. From the aforesaid, it is apparent that while dealing with the issue pertaining to quashing of criminal proceedings in the instant case, this Court while exercising the jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. (now repealed) and Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sahinta, 2023 (in short "B.N.S.S.") has to consider as to whether prima facie, no case is made out against the accused. From a bare reading of FIR and the statement(s) of victim/complainant recorded in terms of Sections 161 & 164 Cr.P.C., this Court is of the view that at this stage, it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the applicant and accordingly, this Court finds no force in the submissions advanced by the applicant's counsel that no case is made out against the applicant. The instant application is accordingly dismissed. Order Date :- 17.1.2025 Arun/- Digitally signed by :- ARUN KUMAR GANGWAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
