Heard Sri Sanjay Yadav, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Alok Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.

The present application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed to quash the entire proceedings including charge-sheet dated 07.05.2023 and cognizance/ summoning order dated 05.01.2024 passed in Case No. 998 of 2024, (State Vs. Pravesh Sharma) arising out of Case Crime No. 44 of 2023, under Sections 323, 504, 506 of I.P.C., Police Station- Medical College, District- Meerut, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Meerut.

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicant was not arrested during the course of investigation and the charge-sheet have been submitted against him. It is further submitted that the offence is punishable up to 7 years imprisonment.

Upon considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the prayer made by learned counsel for the applicant is, hereby, refused.

After some arguments, learned counsel for the applicant wants to withdraw the application with liberty to file a regular bail application before the court of competent jurisdiction.

In case bail application is filed by the learned counsel for the applicant, the same shall be decided in the light of the observations made in the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in Satender Kumar Antil Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, (2022) 10 SCC 51, wherein the Supreme Court considering the category(A) as mentioned in the paragraph no. 2, bail applications of such accused against which charge-sheet has been submitted on appearance may be decided without the accused being taken in physical custody or by granting interim bail till the bail application is decided. It has been observed that at the cost of repetition, we wish to state that, in category A, one would expect a better exercise of discretion on the part of the court in favour of the accused.

The application stands disposed of with the aforesaid liberty.
