1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State.
2. The instant application under section 528 BNSS has been preferred to quash the charge-sheet dated 27.06.2023 along with cognizance/summoning order dated 22.02.2024 passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bulandshahr as well as the entire proceedings of Case No.2337 of 2024 (State vs. Rickky) arising out of Case Crime No.107 of 2023, under sections 506, 384 I.P.C. and section 67 of Information Technology Act, 2000, P.S. Kotwali City, District- Bulandshahr, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate First, Nagina, Bijnor.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the proceeding initiated against the applicant is illegal and against the material available on record; the material of investigation does not disclose commission of any alleged offences against the applicant, whereas the applicant has already been granted anticipatory bail vide order dated 09.01.2025 by learned court concerned and as such the proceedings initiated against the applicant including the impugned charge-sheet and cognizance/summoning order are liable to be quashed by this Court.
4. Per contra, learned A.G.A. for the State vehemently opposed the prayer as made in the application and rebutted the stand taken up by learned counsel for applicant by way of submitting that the averments whatsoever has been raised by learned counsel for applicant is subject matter of trial and as such prima-facie offence has been made out against the applicant.
5. After hearing rival submissions extended by learned counsel for the parties and by bare perusal of record, there appears no illegality and impropriety in the impugned charge-sheet and
cognizance/summoning order and as such learned court concerned has rightly proceeded against the applicant.
6. In view thereof, the instant application under section 528 BNSS lacks merit and is hereby dismissed.
7. However, the applicant will be at liberty to avail all the other legal remedies available at law. Order Date :- 28.5.2025 Saif Digitally signed by :- SHAIKH SAIF ABDIN High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
