JUDGMENT Pankaj Naqvi,J. 1. Heard Shri Bharat Singh, learned counsel for the applicants and the learned A.G.A. 2.

No.205 of 2014 under Sections 498-A,323,506,364,511 IPC P.S Jareefnagar District Badaun. 3. During trial an application was filed by the applicants/accused alleging that as the matter was investigated by P.S Jareefnagar whereas the alleged offence was committed at Bisauli, police at P.S Jareefnagar was not competent to file the chargesheet. 4. Be that as it may, on a combined reading of Sections 461/462/465 Cr.P.C, merely because the matter was investigated by the police station concerned which was not competent to investigate, could not be a ground to quash the chargesheet. Learned counsel for the applicant could not demonstrate any prejudice that could have occasioned, on account of filing of the charge sheet by the police station which was not competent to file the same. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant then contended that as the matter involves a matrimonial dispute it be referred to Mediation Centre of this court. It is too late in the day to accede to such a request, when the case has reached the stage of trial. 6. The application is dismissed. No order as to costs. …………….
