JUDGMENT Om Prakash-VII,J. Mediation was not successful in the present matter. The present application has been filed by the applicants under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with the prayer to quash the summoning order dated 22.9.2014 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.8, Agra in Complaint Case No. 1868 of 2014 (Smt. Sunaina Vs. Vinod Chauhan and others) under Sections 498-A, 323, 324, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Sainya, District Agra, pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No. 8, Agra. Further prayer has been made to stay the further proceedings of the aforesaid case. Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 as well as the learned AGA appearing for the State. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicants that the complaint was filed on the basis of false facts and also on the basis of malice. It is further submitted that from the version of the complaint as well as statement of witnesses, offences under the aforesaid Sections are not made out against the applicants. General allegations have been made in the complaint. The impugned order suffers from illegality and infirmity. On the other hand, learned AGA has submitted that applicants have been summoned on the basis of the statements recorded under Sections 200 Cr.P.C. and 202 Cr.P.C. The impugned order does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, after perusing the entire record and having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that no case is made out to interfere with the impugned order. The impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity or illegality. The Magistrate dealing with complaint at this stage has to see only prima-facie case and it cannot be said that no prima-facie case is made out against the applicants. Further, the plea raised before this Court would require leading of evidence, which can be raised before the court concerned at the appropriate Stage. Hence, the prayer made in the present application is refused. However, it is observed that in case the applicants surrender and apply for bail within fifteen days from today, the same shall be considered and decided in view of the settled law.
