Laxman and 3 Others v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
In this Criminal Revision under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the Court rejected the applicants' plea to quash trial summons under Sections 394 and 427 IPC. The High Court held that allegations of exaggeration in police statements and lack of a fresh FIR did not justify quashing the trial, applying the principle that the Court cannot conduct a mini-trial at this stage.
What did the court decide?
Application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. rejected; impugned order summoning the applicants to face trial remains in force.
