Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:40509 Court No. - 15 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 5525 of 2025 Applicant :- Piyush Pathak And 2 Others Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Gauri Suwan Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Subhash Vidyarthi,J. 1. Heard Sri Gauri Suwan Pandey, the learned counsel for the applicants as well as Sri Manish Vikram Singh Chauhan, the learned A.G.A. and perused the record. 2. Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C./Section 528 BNSS has been filed seeking quashing of the impugned charge sheet dated 29.07.2024, cognizance/summoning order dated 14.10.2024 along with entire proceedings of Case No.117529 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No.151 of 2024, under Sections 420, 448, 427 I.P.C. Police Station Gudamba, District Lucknow, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-IInd, Lucknow. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the applicants are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in the present case. 3. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the aforesaid prayer and has submitted that while exercising the jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C., this Court cannot go into the correctness of the allegations made against the applicants and has only to examine whether on the basis of the allegations made and material collected during investigation, the offences are made out against the applicant or not. 4. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in C.B.I. v. Aryan Singh, 2023 SCC Online SC 379 has held that while exercising the powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the Court is not required to conduct a mini trial. It does not require the prosecution/investigating agency to prove the allegations. While exercising the powers under Section 482 of the CrPC the Court has very limited jurisdiction and is required to consider "whether any sufficient material is available to proceed further against the accused for which the accused is required to be tried or not". 5. Confronted with the aforesaid objection, the learned counsel for the applicants submits that he does not want to press this application on merit and he confines his prayer only to the extent that applicants may be permitted to surrender and move an application, before the court concerned seeking bail and suitable directions may be issued that same may be heard and decided expeditiously, in accordance to law. 6. Accordingly, the instant application is disposed of by observing that in case the applicants appear and file an application for their release on bail, the same shall be considered and decided expeditiously in accordance with law, including the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Satender Kumar Antil v. C.B.I., (2022) 10 SCC 51. . (Subhash Vidyarthi,J.) Order Date :- 16.7.2025 Ram. Digitally signed by :- RAM SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
