Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench (Subhash Vidyarthi, J.), Application U/S 482 No. 5807 of 2025, decided 30.7.2025 (Neutral Citation 2025:AHC-LKO:44160). Bablu Ali applied under Section 482 CrPC to quash the FIR in Case Crime No. 461 of 2023 (Sections 419 and 506 IPC), P.S. Tarabganj, District Gonda, dated 01.07.2024, and the investigation/case registration ordered by the trial court on 21.09.2024 pursuant to which he was summoned for trial; the validity was challenged on the ground that the allegations against him were false. The State side opposed, contending that a court exercising Section 482 powers cannot test the truthfulness of allegations. Relying on a 2023 Supreme Court decision (2023 SCC OnLine SC 379), the court held that no mini-trial is required, the investigating/prosecution agency need not prove the allegations, and the court, enjoying wide discretion, need only consider whether sufficient material exists against the accused. The application was disposed of with the direction that if the applicant surrenders before the trial court and applies for release on bail/bonds, his prayer shall be considered expeditiously in light of the legal positions recorded in (2021) 10 SCC 773.
