This application has been filed for quashing the charge sheet dated 6.4.2023 as well as cognizance order dated 11.9.2023 under Sections 419, 420, 406 I.P.C., Police Station - Kotwali City, District - Pratapgarh submitted in Case Crime No.972 of 2022, in Criminal Case No.8097 of 2023, 'State Vs. Suresh Sunder Tiwari & Ors', which are pending before the learned Additional Civil Judge, Junior Division, Room No.15, District - Pratapgarh. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has falsely been implicated in the present case, but the Investigating Officer submitted the charge sheet under Sections 406, 420 I.P.C. in mechanical manner. It is further submitted that the trial court has also wrongly taken cognizance on the same and summoned the applicant vide impugned order. It is vehemently submitted that the trial for the offence of cheating as well as criminal breach of trust cannot run together. Reliance in support of his argument has been placed by the learned counsel for the applicant on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd. & Ors. Vs. State of U.P. & Anr., (Criminal Appeal No. 3114 of 2024). It is, thus, submitted that the indulgence of this Court is necessary.

4. Learned A.G.A. opposes the prayer of the applicant and submits there is no illegality in the order passed by the trial court. However, he does not dispute on the legal pronouncement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd. (supra). 5.
Considering the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. and going through the contents of the application, F.I.R. as well as other relevant documents, it is evident that the charge sheet was filed by the Investigating Officer for the offences under Section 406, 420 I.P.C. Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd. (supra) has categorically laid down that the trial for the offences of cheating as well as criminal breach of trust cannot run together. 6. In view of above facts and circumstances, this Court is of the view that the impugned summoning order is liable to be set aside and, therefore, summoning order dated 11.9.2023 is hereby quashed. 7. The application stands allowed. 8. Trial court is directed to pass fresh orders in the matter in the light of the law laid down in the case of Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd.
