HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD APPLICATION U/S 528 BNSS No. - 30511 of 2025 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJ BEER SINGH, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for applicants and learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. The present application under Section 528 of Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (hereinafter referred to as 'BNSS') has been filed for quashing of entire proceedings, including charge-sheet dated 05.06.2024 as well as cognizance / summoning order dated 03.07.2024, of Case No. 1328 of 2024 (State Vs. Kalyan Rai and others), arising out of Case Crime No. 183 of 2024, under Sections 323, 504 IPC, P.S. Deoriya Kalan, District Pilibhit, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate, Bisalpur, Pilibhit. 3. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicants that applicants are innocent and no prima-facie case is made out against them. The allegations levelled against applicants are false and baseless. It was submitted that after investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted for the offence under Sections 323, 504 IPC, which are non-cognizable offence. In view of provisions of Section 2(d) (explanation) Cr.P.C., a report made by a police officer in a case which discloses, after investigation, commission of a non-cognizable offence, the same has to be deemed as a complaint but in the instant case cognizance has been taken as a State case, which is against the provisions of law and thus, the impugned proceedings are abuse of the process of court and thus, liable to be quashed. 4. Learned AGA has opposed the application but it could not be disputed that cognizance for offence under Sections 323, 504 IPC has been taken as a State case. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 6. In the instant matter it appears from record that charge-sheet against Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rahul Saxena Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Kalyan Rai And 3 Others .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
applicants was filed for offence under Sections 323, 504 IPC, which are non- cognizable offence. As per provisions of Section 2(d) (explanation) Cr.P.C., the report made by police in connection with a case which after investigation discloses commission of a non-cognizable offence, has to be deemed as a complaint. Thus, in the instant matter the cognizance taken by learned Magistrate vide impugned order dated 03.07.2024 as a State case, is against the provisions of law. 7.
In view of the aforesaid, the impugned summoning order dated 03.07.2024, passed by Judicial Magistrate, Bisalpur, Pilibhit is hereby set aside and the matter is remitted back to the court concerned to pass an order on the point of summoning afresh, expeditiously in accordance with law. 8. The application under Section 528 BNSS is disposed of in above terms. September 17, 2025 'SP'/- NA528 No. 30511 of 2025 2 (Raj Beer Singh,J.)
