Heard Sri Kumar Ankit Srivastava learned counsel for the
applicants, learned AGA for the State and Sri Rajesh Dutt
Pandey learned counsel for the opposite party No. 2.
Present applications have been filed with prayer to quash the
charge sheet dated 25.12.2017 and the proceedings of Case No.
872 of 2018 arising out of case crime No. 641 of 2017 under
Sections 395 and 427 IPC, Police Station Govind Nagar,
District Mathura, pending in the court of Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Mathura.
Submission is, applicants are tenants of Smt. Vedvati with
whom the opposite party No. 2 is in litigation over some
property namely the factory premises let out to the opposite
party No. 2 by the said Smt. Vedvati. Only because the
applicants have stood by the said Smt. Vedvati and helped her
in many ways, false allegations have been levelled against the
applicants to cause deep harassment. First Information Report is
also stated to have been lodged with delay. In the context of the
undisputed fact that the factory premises were lying closed
from before, allegations are stated to be plainly false. No
recovery has been made from the applicants.
On the other hand, learned counsel for the opposite party No. 2
and the learned AGA would submit, the allegations levelled in
the F.I.R. are factual. The applicants are specifically named in
the F.I.R. and role has been assigned to them of having loaded
valuable goods of the opposite party No. 2 on trucks etc. and of
having forcibly transported them outside the factory premises.
Also allegations of illegal demolition carried out by the
applicants is contained in the F.I.R.. Those allegations were
tested during the course of investigation. Upon sufficient
material being collected in the shape of oral statements as form
part of the case diary, charge sheet has been submitted.
In short, it has been submitted, ingredients of the offence
alleged are complete. Falsity or otherwise of the allegations
may not be examined at this preliminary stage. Insofar as they
are not shown to be inherently improbable, no interference is
warranted.
Having heard learned counsel for parties and having perused
the record, at present no material exists to reach a conclusion
that the allegations made are inherently improbable or that they
are plainly false. Merely because the applicants claim to have
generally helped the landlady, a senior citizen, it cannot be
hurriedly concluded, therefore, the opposite party No. 2 bore
animosity towards the applicants. What exact transaction may
have taken pace and what role may have been played by the
applicants therein would remain to be tested at the trial. In
absence of any good ground made out, interference claimed in
exercise of inherent jurisdiction of the Court under Section 482
Cr.P.C. to quash the criminal prosecution is declined.
Both applications are dismissed. However, it is provided, in
case the applicants in Application U/S 15703 of 2018 namely
Mohan Sharma, Chandrabhan alias Pinka, Salim, Suleman
Thikedar, Lala Pahalwan @ Lala Chaudhary, Yogesh and
Rambabu appear on the next date fixed before the learned court
below and apply for bail, their bail applications may be
considered and decided on their own merits without being
prejudiced by any observations made in this order.
So far as applicant-Sanjai Bhardwaj in Application U/S 482 No.
