Heard learned counsel for the applicant; learned counsel for the informant; learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. The present 482 Cr.P.C. application has been filed to quash the summoning order dated 18/06/2021 passed by Special Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kanpur Nagar in State of U.P. Versus Saifullah and charge sheet dated 11/05/2021, in Case Crime no.209/2021, under section 506 IPC, police station Naubasta, district Kanpur Nagar. 3. Allegation in the F.I.R. is that informant, who is wife of applicant, lodged F.I.R. in Case Crime No.1066 of 2020, under Sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506, 377, 420 I.P.C. and 3/4 D.P. Act, P.S. Naubasta, District Kanpur Nagar. The applicant, who is husband of informant, threatened not press the F.I.R. registered in the Case Crime No.1066 of 2020. 4. Learned Counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. On perusal of F.I.R., no offence under the aforesaid section is made out. The applicant has not threatened the informant. 5. Learned A.G.A. and counsel for the informant vehemently opposed the prayer for quashing the proceedings of the aforesaid case and submitted that prima facie, offence is made out against the applicant as the applicant has threatened to withdraw the Case Crime No.1066 of 2020. It is next submitted that applicant and other co-accused persons filed Application U/s 482 No.12832 of 2021 before this Court and the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 16.08.2021 dismissed the prayer of the applicant and stay the proceedings of other co-accused. The charge sheet has been submitted and the applicant is not co-operating in the trial proceedings and notice has been issued. 6. The Apex Court in the case of Mohd. Allauddin Khan Vs. State of Bihar and others reported in (2019) 6 SCC 107 has held in para No.14 as follows:- "14. In our view, the High Court had no jurisdiction to appreciate the evidence of the proceedings under Section 482 of the Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short "Cr.P.C.") because whether there are contradictions or/and inconsistencies in the statements of the witnesses is essentially an issue relating to appreciation of evidence and the same can be gone into by the Judicial Magistrate during trial when the entire evidence is adduced by the parties. That stage is yet to come in this case." 7. The Apex Court in Priti Saraf and another Vs. State of NCT of Delhi and Another reported in AIR 2021 SC 1531 has held that: "To exercise powers under Section 482, complaint in its entirety have to be examined on basis of allegation made in complaint/FIR/Charge sheet. High Court at that stage not under an obligation to go into matter or examine its correctness. Whatever appears on face of complaint/FIR/charge sheet to be taken into consideration without any critical examination of same. Offence ought to appear ex facie on complaint/FIR/charge sheet and other documentary evidence, on record. It is thus settled that exercise of inherent power of High Court is an extraordinary power which has to be exercised with great care and circumspection before embarking to scrutinize complaint/FIR/charge sheet in deciding whether case is rarest of rare case, to scuttle prosecution at its inception. Whether the allegations in the complaint are otherwise correct or not, has to be decided on the basis of the evidence to be led during the course of trial. Simply because there is a remedy provided for breach of contract or arbitral proceedings initiated at the instance of the appellant, that does not by itself clothe the court to come to a conclusion that civil remedy is the only remedy, and the initiation of criminal proceedings, in any manner, will be an abuse of the process of the court for exercising inherent powers of the High Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing such proceedings." 8. 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 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 9. In view of the above, in the light of judgment of the Apex Court in the matters of R.P. Kapur Vs. State of Punjab, A.I.R. 1960 S.C. 866, State of Haryana Vs. 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, no ground for quashing the proceedings of the aforesaid case, is made out which may call for any interference by this Court in exercise of its inherent power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 9. The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. lacks merit and is, accordingly, dismissed.
