Hon'ble Om Prakash-VII,J.

The present application has been filed by the applicants under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with the prayer to quash the entire proceedings of complaint case no. 154 of 2016,  under Sections 147, 452, 323, 324, 504, 354-A IPC and Section 7/8 POCSO Act, P.S. Narkhi, district Firozabad pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Court No. 8, Firozabad. Further prayer has been made to stay the further proceedings of the aforesaid case.

Heard learned counsel for the applicants and the learned AGA appearing for the State.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicants that application under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. was treated as complaint. Thereafter evidence under Section 200 and 202 Cr.P.C. were recorded. Applicants were summoned on 31.5.2016 to face trial for the offence under Sections  147, 452, 323, 324, 504, 354-A IPC and Section 7/8 POCSO Act. It is further submitted that entire family members have been roped in this matter due to family rivalry. 

On the other hand, learned AGA has submitted that applicants have been summoned on the basis of the statements recorded under Sections 200 Cr.P.C. and 202 Cr.P.C.. The impugned order does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, after perusing the entire record and having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that no case is made out to interfere with the impugned order. The impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity or illegality. The Magistrate dealing with complaint at this stage has to see only prima-facie case and it cannot be said that no prima-facie case is made out against the applicants. Further, the plea raised before this Court would require leading of evidence, which can be raised before the court concerned at the appropriate Stage. Hence, the prayer made in the present application is refused.

However, in case the applicants surrender before the court below and apply for bail the same shall be considered and decided by the court below in view of settled law.

Thus the application is disposed of accordingly.
