Sabir and Ors. v. State of U.P. and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench), Application U/S 482 No. 142 of 2020, decided 03.12.2025 by Manoj Bajaj, J. Quashing petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. against charge sheet dated 06.08.2019 and cognizance order dated 25.11.2019 in a 498A/323/506/501 IPC and Section 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act case at Bahraich; dismissed as applicants never pressed the prayer and trial proceedings had progressed; no precedent engaged; no monetary quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Since the prayer made by the applicants was never pressed and, with the passage of time, the trial proceedings must have progressed, at that juncture no case was made out for exercise of inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C.; consequently the petition was dismissed. ¶12
