List has been revised. None appears on behalf of the applicant to press this
application in revision.
Heard learned A.G.A. and perused the material on record.
The present criminal revision has been filed for quashing the summoning
order dated 09.07.2003 passed by learned Special Judge (D.A.A.), Etah in
S.S.T. No. 51 of 2003, under Sections 395 I.P.C.
The contention of the counsel for the revisionists are that no offence against
the revisionist is disclosed and the present prosecution has been instituted
with a malafide intention for the purposes of harassment. He pointed out
certain documents and statements in support of his contention.
From the perusal of the material on record and looking into the facts of the
case at this stage it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the
applicants. All the submission made at the bar relates to the disputed question
of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court under revisional
jurisdiction. At this stage only prima facie case is to be seen. Moreover, the
revisionist has got a right of discharge under Section 239 or 227/228, Cr.P.C.

free to take all the submissions in the said discharge application before the
Trial Court.
The prayer for quashing the summoning order is refused.
However, it is directed that the revisionists shall appear and surrender before
the court below within 30 days from today and apply for bail, their prayer for
bail shall be considered and decided in accordance with the settled law laid by
