Keeping in view the peculiar facts of the case wherein the matter was instituted by lodging a non-cognizable report in the year 2021 and the trial is yet to commence, while we are presently in the year 2025, issuance of notice to the opposite party no.2 will cause further delay in finalization of proceedings and would defeat the ends of justice, the issuance of notice to the opposite party no.2 is dispensed with and the application is being decided finally after hearing submissions of learned counsel for the applicants and the learned A.G.A. 3.

The submission of the learned counsel for the applicants is that the offences under Sections 323, 504 I.P.C. are non- cognizable offences and the trial of the aforesaid offences can only be conducted as a complaint case and not a State case. 5. The learned A.G.A. does not dispute aforesaid proposition. 6. Accordingly, the application is allowed and the cognizance and summoning order dated 03.10.2022 is hereby set aside.
