Hon'ble Dr. Yogendra Kumar Srivastava,J.
Heard Sri Satish Kumar Shukla holding brief of Sri Rahul Mishra, learned counsel for the applicants and Sri Arvind Kumar, learned AGA appearing for the State-opposite party.
The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking to quash the impugned chargesheet no.150/20, dated 31.12.2020 arising out of case crime no.136 of 2020, under Sections 323, 504 IPC and Section 3(1) (s), 3(2) (va) SC/ST Act, police station- Pannuganj, District Sonbhadra as well as entire proceedings of Case No.31 of 2021 (State Vs. Sanjai and Others) pending before Special Judge (SC/ST Act), Sonbhadra.
Learned counsel for the applicants has sought to assail the proceedings by referring to the factual aspects of the matter and the defence, which is sought to be set up on behalf of the applicants.
Learned AGA submits that the aforesaid contention would relate to disputed questions of fact and would require appreciation of evidence, which would be beyond the scope and purview of the powers to be exercised under Section 482 Cr.P.C.
Learned counsel for the applicants does not dispute the aforesaid legal position and fairly submits that he does not wish to press the relief, as prayed for, in the application. He further states that the applicants are already on bail and they may be granted liberty to move a discharge application.
It goes without saying that the discharge is a valuable right and an application seeking discharge may be moved by the applicants at the appropriate stage.
Subject to the aforesaid observation, the application stands dismissed.
