Heard Sri Chandra Shekhar Mishra, learned counsel for the applicants and Sri MPS Gaur, learned AGA alongwith Sri Mayank Awasthi appearing for the State.
This application has been filed under Section 482 CrPC seeking to quash the charge sheet dated 07.08.2017 in Case No.6692 of 2017 (arising out of Case Crime No.148 of 2017), under Sections 26/52 Indian Forest Act, 1927 and Sections 379, 411 IPC, PS Mirzapur, District Saharanpur pending in the Court of the Additional Civil Judge-II (SD), Saharanpur.
On perusal of the impugned charge sheet and the materials in support of the same, this Court does not find it to be a case which can be determined or gone into in an application under Section 482 CrPC. This Court cannot hold a parallel trial in an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. No such ground appears to be available to the applicants, on the basis of which the impugned charge sheet can be quashed going by the settled law in 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 Zandu Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. Vs. Mohd. Saraful Haq and another (Para-10) 2005 SCC (Cr.) 283.
Accordingly, the prayer for quashing the charge sheet is refused.
However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is provided that if the applicants appear and surrender before the court below within 45 days from today and apply for bail, their prayer for bail shall 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 judgement 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 45 days from today or till the applicants surrender 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, the application is finally disposed of. Order Date :- 31.7.2018 Shahroz
