Summary
Vijay Kumar filed an application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita seeking to quash the entire proceedings of Special Case No. 49 of 2026, which arose from a POCSO matter involving alleged offences under Sections 137(2), 87, 64(1), 61(2)(a), 351(3) of the BNS and Sections 3 and 4 of the POCSO Act. The application was presented before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Kanpur Nagar bench, with Piyush Patel appearing for the applicant and G.A. for the State. During the hearing, counsel for the applicant indicated that he no longer wished to pursue the application. The Court noted that the application was not pressed and therefore could not be entertained. Consequently, the Court dismissed the application, granting the applicant liberty to file an appropriate application before the trial court if desired. No substantive merits of the quash petition were examined.
Issues considered
- Whether the application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita seeking to quash the POCSO proceedings can be entertained when the applicant withdraws it.
