Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J.
Heard Sri Manish Kumar Pandey holding brief of Sri V.K. Singh, learned counsel for the applicants and Sri N.K. Tiwari, learned A.G.A. for the State.
This application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the entire proceedings of Case No. 915 of 2014 arising out of case crime no. 199 of 2012 under sections 143, 341, 332 I.P.C. and 7 C.L.A. Act, police station Karma, District Sonbhadra, charge-sheet dated 30.9.2012 as well as cognizance order dated 9.3.2014 passed in the aforesaid case.
The contention of 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.
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 applicants. 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. At this stage only prima facie case is to be seen in the light of the law laid down by Supreme Court in cases 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.
The prayer for quashing the proceedings of the aforesaid case, the charge- sheet and the cognizance order is refused.
The application lacks merit and is accordingly, dismissed.
