Heard Sri Parth Chaubey, holding brief of Sri Rakesh Tripathi, learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. This application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed to quash the entire proceedings of Sessions Trial No. 940 of 2025 (State Vs. Shubham and others) arising out of Case Crime No. 142 of 2025, under Sections 115(2), 351(3) of B.N.S. at Police Station-Garhmukteshwar, District-Hapur as well as charge sheet dated 13.04.2025 and cognizance order dated 08.05.2025 pending before Additional District and Sessions Judge/Special Judge, POCSO Act, District-Hapur. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant had no role to play and has been falsely implicated. In the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS, the victim had not disclosed the name of the applicant. From the perusal of the material on record and looking into the facts of the case, at this stage, it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the applicant. All the submissions made at the bar relate to the disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court. Only in cases where the Court finds that there has been failure of justice or abuse of procedure, this power may be exercised to prevent the abuse of process to secure the ends of justice. Accordingly, prayer for quashing is declined. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rakesh Tripathi I Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
