However, it further observed as follows: "However, in the interest of justice, it is provided that in case the applicant moves an application for discharge at an appropriate stage through counsel within 30 days, the same shall be disposed of by the Trial Court by a reasoned and speaking order in accordance with law within two weeks thereafter. For a period of 30 days or till the disposal of the discharge application, whichever is earlier, no coercive measures shall be taken against the applicant in the aforesaid case. With the aforesaid direction, this application is disposed of." 6. The learned trial court considered the discharge application and passed a reasoned and speaking order. As per the F.I.R., the incident is dated 28.03.2025 at about 15:30 hours, and allegations have been made against accused Dev and Vishal Yadav that they came to the house of the complainant. The co-accused Dev is a resident of village Nagla Gardi, whereas the applicant is a resident of village Jargawa. It was contended that the applicant has no shop and never visits the shop of Dev. The learned trial court observed that the applicant has taken a plea of alibi. However, such a plea cannot be adjudicated at the stage of discharge. At the stage of discharge, the trial court is required to examine whether, on the basis of the prosecution evidence, a prima facie case is made out against the accused or not. The correctness or truthfulness of the defence evidence cannot be examined at this stage. Appreciation of medical evidence or conducting a mini-trial is not permissible at the stage of discharge. 7. The learned trial court has passed a reasoned and speaking order. Hence, there is neither any illegality nor any irregularity in the impugned order. CRLR No. 1073 of 2026 2 8.
