Holding
The petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to raise all points before the trial court at the appropriate stage.
Summary
The petitioners, Arun Yadav and Rajesh Yadav, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash two lower‑court orders: one dated 06‑12‑2016 by the Sessions Judge rejecting their Section 245 petition, and another dated 12‑06‑2015 by the Judicial Magistrate in Complaint No. 351(C)/2013. The High Court noted that the trial was still in the evidence‑gathering stage and that the petitioners merely wanted liberty to raise all points before the trial court at the appropriate time. Both the State and the opposite party did not oppose this request. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition, granting the petitioners the liberty to present their arguments before the trial court as prayed for.
Issues considered
- Whether a petition under Section 482 CrPC can be entertained to quash the Sessions Judge's order rejecting a Section 245 petition
- Whether the order of the Judicial Magistrate can be quashed at this stage of the proceedings
- Whether the petitioners should be allowed liberty to raise all points before the trial court while the case is still on the evidence stage
