the injuries were not of such a nature which constitute an offence under Section 307 I.P.C. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet was filed against the applicants and learned Magistrate has taken cognizance against them, whereas no prima facie case is made out against the applicants, therefore, the cognizance order as well as entire proceedings of the aforesaid case may be quashed. 4. Per contra, learned Counsel for opposite party no.2 as well as learned A.G.A. have submitted that the applicants have beaten the opposite party no.2 and his family members with iron rods and lathi danda due to which four persons sustained injuries.
They have further submitted that from the perusal of the allegations made in the F.I.R., the statements of the informant and witnesses, injury report and the material collected during the course of investigation, prima facie offence is clearly made out against the applicants and as such, entire proceedings cannot be quashed. 5. As per record, opposite party no.2 lodged a First Information Report as Case Crime No. 286 of 2025, under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 115(2), 352, 351(2), 109 and 117(2) BNS against the applicants at Police Station Akrabad, District Aligarh regarding the incident dated 11.06.2025.

All the submission made at the Bar relates to the disputed question of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court in exercise of power conferred under Section 528 BNSS.

Bhajan Lal, 1992 SCC (Cr.) 426, State of Bihar Vs. P.P.Sharma, 1992 SCC (Cr.) 192 and lastly Zandu Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. Vs. Mohd. Saraful Haq and another (Para-10) 2005 SCC (Cr.) 283. The disputed defence of the accused cannot be considered at this NA528 No. 45933 of 2025 2
stage. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any ground to quash the aforementioned case, therefore, the prayer for quashing the same is hereby refused. 8.
