Hon'ble Chandra Dhari Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the entire record.
This application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking quashing of the summoning order dated 21.7.2018 passed by Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) 2nd/A.C.J.M., Jaunpur as well as entire proceedings of Complaint Case No. 156/2017 (Ranjana Singh vs. Ajay Kumar and others), under Section 498-A I.P.C. & 3/4 of D.P. Act, P.S. Kotwali, District Jaunpur, pending before the Court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) 2nd / A.C.J.M. Jaunpur.
The contention of the learned counsel for the applicants is that no offence against the applicants is disclosed and the present prosecution has been instituted with a malafide intention for the purposes of harassment. He pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contention.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any ground to quash the criminal proceedings including summoning order dated 21.7.2018, therefore, the prayer for quashing the same is hereby refused.
Accordingly, the present application is dismissed.
However, it is provided that if the applicants appear and move an appropriate application for discharge under section 245(2) Cr.P.C. before the court below within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order then the application of the applicants shall be considered and decided expeditiously preferably on the same day in accordance with law.
If the applicants move an application as stated above within two weeks, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants till disposal of the said application.
