High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench (Subhash Vidyarthi, J.; order dated 19.2.2024; Neutral Citation 2024:AHC-LKO:14350) allowed an application under Section 482 CrPC (No. 1259 of 2024) by Anurag Mahajan and three others and quashed the entire criminal proceedings in Criminal Case No. 125377 of 2022, arising out of FIR No. 69 of 2022 of P.S. Kaiserbagh, District Lucknow West (Commissionerate Lucknow) and a charge-sheet dated 6.10.2022 (No. 1 of 2022) under Sections 323, 427 IPC, in which cognizance was taken and the applicants summoned by order dated 22.12.2022.
