2. The counsel for the rival parties have made a joint statement that they do not propose to file any further affidavits thus with the consent of the parties, the application is being decided at the fresh stage.
3. This application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed by the applicant to quash the entire proceedings of Case No.378 of 2024 (State Vs. Akshay @ Golu and others), arising out of case crime no.272 of 2023, under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 341, 188 IPC, Police Station- Sadar Bazar, District Saharanpur, pending before the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharanpur.

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that an FIR stood lodged under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 147, 188 of the IPC being FIR No. 0272 of 2023, on 20.06.2023 at 18.30 hours against the applicant nos. 1 and 2 and along with one another and 15-20 un-named accused relatable to the commission of the offences on 20.06.2023 whereby the applicants created a situation which was in furtherance of commission of the offence. Learned counsel for
the applicants further submits that a charge-sheet stood submitted against the applicants under Sections 323, 504, 506, 341 and 188 of the IPC on 18.8.2023, however, the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharanpur had issued summons on 09.01.2024, under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 341 and 188 IPC that too in a mechanical manner.
4.
