JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THIS application under Section-482 Cr. P. C. has been filed by the applicants challenging the order dated 18.10.2012 passed by learned Additional District
and Sessions Judge, Court No.15, Ghaziabad Session Trial No.346 of 2009
(State Vs. Yogi @ Yogesh and others) arising out of case crime no.281 of
2001, under Sections 147,148,149,307,332,353,342,336 IPC and 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act whereby Non Bailable Warrants have been issued
against the applicants for ensuring their appearance on 1.11.2012.
After having heard the learned counsel for the applicants the prayer for
quashing the impugned order is refused as the applicants have failed to appear
before the court below in response to the summons and warrants issued
against them. Since the applicants have remained absent for several dates,
there is no ground to interfere with the order impugned.
(2.) IT is well settled that the inherent powers under Section 482 can be exercised only when no other remedy is available to the litigants and not in a situation
where a specific remedy is provided by the statute. It cannot be used if it is
inconsistent with specific provisions provided under the Code. If an effective
alternative remedy is available, this Court will not exercise its powers under
this section, specially when the applicants may not have availed of that
remedy.
Accordingly the prayer for quashing the impugned order is refused. However, it will be open to the applicants to move an application before the
court concerned in this regard within ten days from today which shall be
considered, in accordance with law without unreasonable delay.
With the above observation, this application is finally disposed of.;
