The applicants are the close associates, they came to Shahjahanpur for the purpose of business, all above allegations made against the applicants are false, frivolous and baseless, even no such incident has occurred as alleged by O.P. No. 2. and all the applicants never came to Shahjahanpur. 5. It is further contended that the applicants are resident of the State of West Bengal, they are not resident of district Shahjahanpur, they are residing at a distance of about 1500 km from Shahjahanpur.

The allegations made in the complaint do not disclose the commission of the offence under Section 307, I.P.C. even then the applicants have been summoned to face the trial for the offence punishable under Section 307, I.P.C. The prosecution of the applicants is simply the abuse of the process of the Court. 6. It is further contended that applicant Nos.

Sugar Tehsil Maksudpur in which applicant No. 2 was the commission agent, the order was placed on telephone, the cost of the above mentioned sugar was Rs. 8,58,000, its payment was made by the applicants 1 and 2 through D.O. No. 72/487-890 dated 13.1.1997, thereafter, the applicants 1 and 2 received telephonic call from O.P. No. 2, his father Kishandas and his brother Sudhir Kumar to make further payment of Rs. 11,064/- otherwise they would be kidnapped, then applicant No. 1 made a written complaint to the Officer In-charge of Asansol on 9.2.1997, thereafter, applicant No. 1 received one registered letter dated 17.2.1997 from respondent No. 2, the letter was containing threats, then the applicants moved an application under Section 156(3), Cr.P.C. against O.P. No. 2, his father Kishandas and his brother Sudhir Kumar, the same was allowed by the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate, Asansol on 19.3.1997 and officer in charge of P.S. Asansol was directed to register the case and investigate the same, pursuant to that order criminal case No. 72 of 1997 was registered against O.P. No. 2 and his father and brother under Section 384, I.P.C., in that case applicant Nos. 3 and 4 were witness but the proceedings of case No. 72 of 1997 was stayed by the Calcutta High Court in criminal revision No. 2901 of 1997 vide order dated 23.3.1997, in its counter blast the complaint of the present case has been filed at Shahjahanpur, which is based on false and frivolous allegation so that the applicants may be harassed, the complaint was lodged by O.P. No. 2 is simple misuse of the processes of the Court, which has been lodged for the purpose of harassment of the applicant after more than two years of the alleged incident. The allegations are of such nature which may not be believed at all. The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Shahjahanpur has not applied his judicial mind and in a mechanical manner, he has summoned the applicants vide order dated 11.1.2000 for the offence punishable under Sections 307, 504 and 506, I.P.C. whereas the allegation made in the complaint and the statement recorded under Sections 200 and 202, Cr.P.C. are not disclosing the commission of the offence punishable under Section 307, I.P.C. The impugned order dated 1.11.2000 is not a reasoned order; it is liable to be set aside. 7. In reply to the above contention, it is submitted by the learned A.G.A. and the learned Counsel for O.P. No. 2 that the allegation made against the applicants are disclosing the commission of the offence punishable under Sections 307, 504 and 506, I.P.C. the delay in lodging the complaint is not material the learned Magistrate concerned has not committed any error in passing the impugned order dated 11.1.2000, the complaint as well as the impugned order dated 11.1.2000 is not suffering from any illegality or irregularity. The present application is devoid of merits, the same may be dismissed. 8. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P. the counsel appearing on behalf of O.P. No. 2 and from the perusal of the record it appears that applicant Nos. 1 and 2 were having business relationship with O.P. No. 2, thereafter, the some dispute arose between the parties, the allegation of extending the threat by O.P. No. 2 has been made in an application under Section 156(3), Cr.P.C. filed by applicant No. 1 in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Asonsol, the same was allowed by the learned Magistrate concerned on 19.3.1997 whereby the officer-in-charge of the P.S. Asansol was directed to register a case and investigate the same, in pursuance of that order, criminal case No. 72 of 1997, was registered against O.P. No. 2, his father and brother under Section 384, I.P.C., in that case applicant Nos. 3 and 4 were witnesses but the proceedings of the above mentioned case were stayed by Calcutta High Court in criminal revision No. 2901 of 1997 vide order dated 23.3.1997. 3 and 4 were witnesses but the proceedings of the above mentioned case were stayed by Calcutta High Court in criminal revision No. 2901 of 1997 vide order dated 23.3.1997. The applicants are resident of West Bengal, the complaint of this case has been filed on 30.11.1999, the complaint is in respect of the alleged incident dated 12.12.1997, which is too much delayed the allegation of firing has not been made in the complaint, simply it is alleged that the applicant Bijay Kumar Sharma, took out the country made pistol for the purpose of committing the murder of O.P. No. 2, in this case nobody has sustained any injury, the complaint is delayed for more than two years, considering the back-ground of this case, a positive inference may be drawn that the complaint dated 30.11.1999 has been lodged for the purpose of harassment of the applicants with ulterior motive to wreak vengeance. It is a case in which it may be observed that the complaint has been lodged for the purpose of harassment because the allegation made against the applicants are absurd and the criminal proceedings are maliciously instituted with ulterior motive for wreak vengeance so that the applicant may be harassed because they are resident of West Bengal. 9. From the perusal of the impugned order dated 11.1.2000 it appears that the learned C.J.M. Shahjahanpur has not applied his judicial mind, it has been passed in a mechanical manner without considering the allegations because even on the basis of the allegations, no offence under Section 307, I.P.C. is made out whereas the applicants have been summoned to face the trial under Section 307, I.P.C. also. The impugned order dated 11.1.2000 is also illegal. 10. In view of the above discussion, the proceedings of criminal complaint case No. 9845 of 1999, Raj Kishore v. Nathmal Sharma and others under Sections 307, 504 and 506, I.P.C. pending in the Court of learned C.J.M. Shahjahanpur arising out of the complaint dated 30.1.1999 including the impugned order dated 11.1.2000 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Shahjahanpur are hereby quashed. 11. Accordingly this application is allowed. ————
