Holding
The court refused to quash the summoning order and directed surrender within three weeks with an expeditious hearing of any bail application.
Summary
The applicants, Ramsurat and three others, filed an application under Section 528 of the B.N.S.S. seeking to quash a summoning order dated 12‑Oct‑2011 issued by the Additional Civil Judge in a criminal complaint under IPC sections 427, 504 and 506. The applicants did not press the substantive relief but instead requested that the lower courts decide their bail applications promptly. The State’s Additional Government Advocate raised no objection to the alternative prayer. The High Court refused to quash the summons and ordered the applicants to surrender within three weeks, directing that any bail application be heard expeditiously in line with the Supreme Court’s decision in Satender Kumar Antil v. CBI. The Court also directed that no coercive action be taken against the applicants during the three‑week period. The application was consequently disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether the summoning order dated 12‑Oct‑2011 can be quashed under Section 528 of the B.N.S.S.
