Mr. Mohit Kumar Kashyap, learned counsel for the applicant. Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned D.A.G. with Mr. Vikas Uniyal, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand/respondent No.1. Mr. Hari Mohan Bhatia, learned counsel for respondent No.2.
Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. (Oral)
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2.

2025:UHC:5681
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the respondent No.2 had committed maarpeet after drinking alcohol with applicant and there are several injuries caused by sword and the respondent No.2 was attacked on her head with the butt of sword with the intention to kill, which caused a contusion in her head. He further submits that the respondent No.2 had withdrawn the cash from the applicant’s bank account forging her signature.
4.
Learned counsel for the applicant also submits that the respondent No.2 had never appeared before this Court with his son, as and when called by a Coordinate Bench of this Court, this clearly reveals that the respondent No.2 is deliberately floating the order of this Court. The applicant was appearing before this Court regularly and since one and a half year, she has not seen her child. The conduct of respondent No.2 appears to be contemptuous in nature.
5.
It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the respondent No.2 is a practicing advocate of the Court situated at Rudrapur and his conduct is proved from the facts that various litigants filed complaints against him regarding his misconduct towards his clients, this fact is also evident from the fact that the learned District Judge has also recommend the said matter to the Bar Association Rudrapur and Bar Council, Uttarakahnd, and he is a habitual offender, but this aspect of the matter has not been considered by both the Courts below, while passing the impugned 2
2025:UHC:5681 orders.
6.
It is further contended by him that learned Courts below have failed to consider the fact that in her complaint, the applicant has produced each and every document, which clearly prima-facie proved the offence against the respondent No.2, but both the learned Courts below wrongly interpreted the documentary evidence, which were placed by the applicant before the Courts below.
7.
Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 contends that the son of respondent No.2 was suffering from severe fever, cold and cough, therefore, the respondent No.2 could not appeared with his son before this Court. Medical report of his son also annexed as Annexure No.1 to the supplementary affidavit filed by him.
8.
Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 submits that no cognizable offence is made out against the respondent No.2. Respondent No.2 neither had committed any incident alleged by the applicant nor had withdrawn any money from the applicant’s bank by making forged signature of the applicant. He further submits that the learned Courts below have rightly passed the impugned judgments and orders.
9.
Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having gone through the impugned judgments and orders and entire material available on record, this Court is of the view that the learned counsel for the applicant could not point out any 3
2025:UHC:5681 material illegality or irregularity in the impugned judgments passed by the courts below. The
reasoning given by both the learned Courts below is perfect and sound and there is hardly any scope to interfere in the aforesaid judgments and orders.
10. As a result, the application moved under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. fails and the same is accordingly dismissed.
