What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Direction that if the applicant surrenders before the trial court and files a bail application, it shall be decided expeditiously in view of the legal principles laid down in Satender Kumar Antil v. C.B.I., (2021) 10 SCC 773; the impugned cognizance/summoning order was not quashed.

Issue for consideration

Whether the order dated 13.03.2023 passed in Case No. 124 of 2021 by the Special Judge (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act), Barabanki, taking cognizance of the offence and summoning the applicant to face trial, is valid and sustainable, the challenge being founded on the plea that the allegations against the applicant are false.

Court's answer

Proceeding on the settled position laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the decision reported at 2023 SCC OnLine SC 379, this Court treated the jurisdiction under Section 482 CrPC as very limited: no mini trial is required, the prosecution/investigating agency need not prove the allegations, and the court need only consider whether any prima facie material exists against the accusations.

Ratio / Principle

The application under Section 482 CrPC is disposed of with the direction that if the applicant surrenders before the trial court and files an application for bail, it shall be decided expeditiously in view of the legal principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Satender Kumar Antil v. C.B.I., (2021) 10 SCC 773.
