At this stage, learned counsel for the applicant submits that a direction be given to the court below for enlargement on bail of the applicant since the applicant shall be preferring bail application. 5. I have heard the submissions so made across the bar. 6. The relief so sought in the present application is as under.- "to quash the entire proceedings Complaint Case No. 6644 of 2022, Smt. Lata Vs. Krishna and others, under Sections 498-A, 323, 504 I.P.C. and 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station-Mahila Thana, District-Agra pending in the Court of Learned Judicial Magistrate/Civil Judge (Junior Division), Agra as well as impugned summoning order dated 28.08.2023 passed by Learned Judicial Magistrate/Civil Judge (Junior Division), Agra." 7. Virtually, this is a second application as earlier, an application came to be preferred which has been dismissed. Since, now the applicants have confined his relief for enlargement on the bail, thus, it is open for the applicants to prefer an appropriate bail application. 8. This Court has no reason to disbelieve that in case, applicant moves appropriate proceedings before the court below for enlargement of bail, then the same may be decided with most expedition in accordance with law of the land. 9. Accordingly, the application is consigned to record. Order Date :- 14.5.2025 Rajesh Digitally signed by :- RAJESH KUMAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
