Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the entire proceedings including charge sheet no.1 dated 05.04.2019 of Criminal Case No.4997 of 2019 bearing the Case Crime No.24 of 2019 (State vs. Dharmendra Yadav and others), under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 336, 504, 506, 427, 325 I.P.C., P.S. Sarain Lakhansi, District Mau, pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Mau.
The contention of learned counsel for the applicants is that the applicants were invited in Tilak ceremony by Ram Awadh Yadav where incident was caused. The applicants' father lodged a first information report under Sections 323, 504 and 506 I.P.C. on 24.01.2019 against the informant Ramesh Yadav and three other persons and in counter blast an F.I.R. against the applicant and others has been lodged on 23.01.2019, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323,, 336, 504, 506, 427, 307 I.P.C. regarding the same incident and exonerating to Devnath and Devendra charge sheet has been filed under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 336, 504, 506, 427, 325 I.P.C. The F.I.R. of the alleged incident is delayed of one day. He pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contention. At last he submitted that the applicants are ready to appear before the court and to face the trial. He sought some time to surrender before the court below.
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 submission made at the bar relates to the disputed question of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court in exercise of power conferred 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 defence of the accused cannot be considered at this stage.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any ground to quash the proceedings including charge sheet of aforementioned case, therefore, the prayer for quashing the same is hereby refused.
However, in the interest of justice, it is provided that if the applicants appear and surrender before the court below within 30 days from today and apply for bail, then the bail application of the applicants be considered and decided in view of the settled law laid by this Court in the case of Amrawati and another Vs. State of U.P. reported in 2004 (57) ALR 290 as well as judgment passed by Hon'ble Apex Court reported in 2009 (3) ADJ 322 (SC) Lal Kamlendra Pratap Singh Vs. State of U.P. For a period of 30 days from today or till the disposal of the application for grant of bail whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants. However, in case, the applicants do not appear before the Court below within the aforesaid period, coercive action shall be taken against them.
With the aforesaid directions, this application is finally disposed of.
