HON'BLE SAURABH SRIVASTAVA, J.
1. Although learned AGA is present, no one appeared on behalf of applicant
even in the revised call.
2. This present application has been filed for seeking quashing of
chargesheet dated 26.06.2021 along with cognizance/summoning order
dated 28.07.2021 and entire proceeding of Criminal Case No.1765 of 2021
(State Vs. Yogesh and others), arising out of Case Crime No.504 of 2020,
under Section 406 IPC, P.S. Badalpur, District Gautam Budh Nagar, pending
in the court of learned Civil Judge (J.D.)/F.T.C.-Ist, Gautam Budh Nagar.
3. On perusal of the narration of FIR as well as impugned order and
chargesheet, this Court does not find it to be a case where interference of this
Court is required. No such ground appears to be available in the present
application, on the basis of which, impugned order along with chargesheet
and entire proceedings of the said case, can be set aside.
4. Accordingly, the prayer sought through the instant application, is refused.
5. Applicant is hereby directed to appear before learned court concerned
within three weeks from today in pursuance of bailable warrant issued
against him on dated 03.09.2024. However, it is made clear that till three
weeks from today, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicant
herein in the present case.
6. With the aforesaid direction, the instant application is disposed of.
