Holding
The High Court held that no sufficient ground existed to quash the notice, and therefore refused the application under Section 528.
Summary
The applicant Munne filed an application under Section 528 of the BNSS seeking to quash a notice dated 27.05.2026 issued by the City/Executive Magistrate, Mirzapur, in a criminal case (State Vs. Munne) under Section 129G of the BNSS. The High Court examined the FIR, the impugned notice, and the charge sheet and concluded that there were no grounds for the Court to interfere with the magistrate's order. Consequently, the Court refused the prayer to set aside the notice. However, the Court permitted the applicant to file an objection to the notice before the City Magistrate within fifteen days. The application was therefore disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can quash a notice issued by a City/Executive Magistrate under Section 130 of the BNSS on the basis of the material on record.
- Whether any ground exists under Section 528 of the BNSS to set aside the criminal proceedings in the present case.
