JUDGEMENT
Shashi Kant Gupta, J. -
(1.) THIS application u/s. 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the summoning order dated 15.12.2012 passed by learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate -VII, Kanpur Nagar, in Complaint Case No. 3638 of 2012, u/s. 138 N.I. Act, P.S. Panki, District Kanpur Nagar, pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate -VII, Kanpur Nagar. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record.
(2.) THE submissions made by the learned counsel for the applicant involve several intricate factual details and many disputed questions of fact related to the case. False implication due to malafide intention has been pleaded. By invoking the inherent jurisdiction of this court the applicants cannot persuade the court to have a pre trial before the actual trial begins. The submissions made by the learned counsel for the applicant call for adjudication on pure questions of fact and while doing so even the submissions made on points of law can also be appropriately gone into by the trial court in this case.
(3.) THE quashing of the complaint can also be done only if it does not disclose any offence or if there is any legal bar which prohibits the proceedings on its basis. The Apex Court decisions in R.P. Kapur Vs. State of Punjab : AIR 1960 SC 866 and State of Haryana Vs. Bhajan Lal : 1992 SCC(Cr.) 426 make the position of law in this regard clear.;
