## Headnote

Constitution of India, Art. 226-Stay of
arrest-during pendency of investigation
writ court can exercise power to grant
stay in rarest of rare case-Full Bench
held-observation made in Satya Pal
Singh Vs. State of U.P.-good law-ratio of
Jogender Singh's case-not applicable in
cases
for
quashing
the
criminal
proceeding.

Held: Para 32, 34, 85 Para 117 as per
Hon'ble Amar Saran, J.

Thus, the arrest is permissible only in a
case where the circumstances of the said
case
so
require
and
there
is
a
justification
for
making
the
arrest
otherwise not.

It
is
evident
from
the
statutory
provisions itself that arrest is to be made
only and only if it is found to be
necessary and there is a justification for
making the arrest for the purpose of
further investigation. What to talk of
arrest even case may not be investigated
if there is no sufficient ground for the
same. Therefore, it cannot be held that
arrest is to be made in every case
without
discrimination
rather
the
mandate issued by the Hon'ble Apex
Court in Joginder Kumar's case is to be
followed but as stated above, the said
case deals with the power of the police
to make arrest while the Full Bench in
Satyapal's case deals with the power of
the Court to interfere with investigation.

In view of the above, the conclusions
drawn by us, hereinabove, we answer
the first part of question No. 1 holding
that Satyapal's case lays down the
correct law and we approve, affirm and
reiterate the same. However, the second
part of the 1st question does not require
to be answered, as the ratio of Joginder
Kumar's case has no application in a case
for quashing criminal proceedings.

Constitution of India, Art. 226-Power of

interferred even if malafide established.

Held: Para 42, 75 & 105

Counsel for the Applicant:
Sri Sanjeev Kumar Pandey

Counsel for the Opposite Parties:
A.G.A.

Code
of
Criminal
Procedure-S-482Quashing of Charge Sheet-offence under
section 149,148,149,302,307 I.P.C.-on
the ground other co-accused acquittedon the principle stars decises upon 2005
(53) ACC-305-applicant not appeared
before the trial court as yet if the
protection given such person having no
respect to the order passed by court of
law-No relief can be granted-except to
approach before the same Trial courtwho will pass reasoned order.

Held: Para 3 & 4

It is not the law that the principal of
stare decises should be applied also to
the accused who had been avoiding the
process of law. It will be misused of the
power of the court if such an order is
passed in respect of those persons who
have got no respect for the orders of the
court.

In this view of the matter, I do not find
any
merit
in
this
application.
This
application is rejected. The applicant is
free to appear in the court and raise his
grievances in view of the law laid down
by this Court and who will decide it by
passing a reasoned order thereon.
Case law discussed:
2005 (53) ACC-305

(Delivered by Hon'ble Vinod Prasad, J.)

1. Heard learned counsel for the
applicant and the learned A.G.A.

2. The applicant has challenged the
proceeding of a charge sheet under
Sections 147,148,149,302,307 I.P.C., case
crime no.124 of 2005, police station
Kotwali City, district Etah, pending in the
court of C.J.M., Etah.

3. The learned counsel for the
applicant is contended that the other coaccused persons have already been
acquitted. He submitted that since the coaccused persons have been acquitted,
therefore, he should not be tried and he
based his submission on the principal of
stare decises and also relied upon the
judgment of this Court reporting in 2005
(53) A.C.C. 305 Kalimuddin Khan Vs.
State of U.P. and others. The applicant
has not appeared in the trial court as yet.
He has not made any application before
the trial court for the purposes of
discharge or acquittal in accordance with
the law laid down by this Court
mentioned above. It will be a travesty of
justice to close the case and acquit the
accused who has not appear before the
court at all. It is not the law that the
3 All] Ram Deo and others V. State of U.P. and another
1023
principal of stare decises should be
applied also to the accused who had been
avoiding the process of law. It will be
misused of the power of the court if such
an order is passed in respect of those
persons who have got no respect for the
orders of the court.

4. In this view of the matter, I do not
find any merit in this application. This
application is rejected. The applicant is
free to appear in the court and raise his
grievances in view of the law laid down
by this Court and who will decide it by
passing a reasoned order thereon.
