Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:50995 Court No. - 84 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 528 BNSS No. - 4327 of 2025 Applicant :- Ankit Saxena Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Vikrant Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Chandra Dhari Singh,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for State and perused the material available on record. 2. The instant application has been filed by the applicant challenging the order dated 23.01.2025 passed by Principal Judge Family Court Rampur in Criminal Misc. Case No. 735 of 2023 under Section 125 Cr.P.C., Police Station- Civil Lines, District- Rampur. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that the concerned Court has initiated ex parte proceeding in Criminal Misc. Case No. 735 of 2023 under Section 125 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that when the applicant knew that an ex parte proceeding is initiated against him he has filed an application and stated the reasons as to why he has not appeared on the date when the Court has proceeded exparte. He further submitted that the Court has allowed the application and also allowed the present applicant to contest the said criminal misc. case under Section 125 Cr.P.C. Thereafter he has moved an application before the Court concerned for recording the chief of the complainant which has already been recorded in his absence. The said application was rejected by the Court concerned by passing the impugned order dated 23.01.2025. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that as per Section 273 Cr.P.C., any recording of the witness or the complainant shall be before the accused person or the Advocate who was appearing on behalf of the accused. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that the Court has ignored the law as settled by the Hon'ble High Court as well as by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and also the mandate of the Section 273 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that therefore the order impugned may be set aside with a direction to the Court concerned to record the chief deposition of the complainant in the presence of the accused or in the presence of the Advocate of the accused. 4. Learned A.G.A. appearing on behalf of the State in advance notice has submitted that proceeding under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is not a pure criminal proceeding and therefore the Court concerned while passing the order has noted cogent reasons for rejecting the said application. There are opportunity to the applicant to cross examine the complainant on the chief deposition. It is further submitted that fresh denial of recording of the chief statement/deposition of the complainant does not adversely affects the applicant's right. Therefore, it has not adversely affected the applicant's right vide dismissal of the said application by the impugned order dated 23.01.2025. The instant application is devoid of merit and is liable to be rejected. 5. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant as well learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. I have also perused the impugned order dated 23.01.2025 and while adjudicating the said application filed by the applicant the Principal Judge Family Court Rampur has given the following reasons:- " आववददकक पक दकरक पकररनक पत आपतत पसततत कर करन दकयक गयक हह दक पकररनक पत बददनयतत पपरर हह और मकत वकद कक ककयरवकहत कक ललबक खखचव जकनव कक दनयत सव पसततत दकयक गयक हह। पसततत वकद आपततकतकर कव दकरक ददनकलक 22.12.2023 कक पसततत दकयक गयक रक। दवपकत जकनबपझकर वकद कक ककयरवकहत मम उपससरत नहख हहआ रक और ददनकलक 27.02.2024 कक दवपकत कव दवरद वकद कक ककयरवकहत एकपकतय रप सव चलकयव जकनव कव उपरकलत ददनकलक 22.03.2024 कक आपततकतकर कक सककय अलदकत दकयक गयक रक, तजसकव ततरलत बकद दवपकत कव दकरक ररककल पकररनक पत पसततत दकयव जकनव पर ददनकलक 04.06.2024 कक नयकयकलय दकरक सवतककर दकयक गयक रक। वतरमकन वकद कक ककयरवकहत सलदकप पकक दत कक ककयरवकहत हह और अररतसदवल पकक दत कक ककयरवकहत हह। यह वकद आपरकतरक वकद सव सलबलतरत नहख हह। दवतरनतसकर मतखय परतकक अलदकत हक जकनव पर दकबकरक मतखय परतकक अलदकत नहख कक जक सकतत हह। दवपकत कक पपवर मम अलदकत कक गयत मतखय परतकक कव आरकर पर पदतपरतकक कक पपररतत अतरककर पकप हह। अधयकय 23 कव पकदवरकन वतरमकन वकद कक ककयरवकहत पर लकगप नहख हकतव हह। पकररनक पत दनरसत दकयव जकनव यकगय हह।" 6. Taking note of the above facts and circumstances and the reasons which is given by concerned Court, while rejecting the application, I do not find any illegality either in the said reasons or in the impugned order for interfering in the instant impugned order while exercising the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the instant application is dismissed. Order Date :- 8.4.2025/Saurabh Digitally signed by :- SAURABH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
