Indian Penal Code, 1860
Sections 323, 504 & 506—Offence of assault, abusing and criminal intimidation—Application to quash charge-sheet as well as entire proceeding dismissed by High Court—Appeal—Alleged incident had taken place in 2014 in the office of the appellant—Charge-sheet was filed in the Court of CJM against the appellant in respect of the complaint filed by second respondent—Said case is pending without trial since 2015 in the said court—Considering the nature of allegations against the appellant which are of very trivial nature and considering the fact that there is no progress made in the proceedings since the charge-sheet was filed against the appellant in the year 2015, the continuing the proceedings would be a persecution and harassment to the appellant—As such a petty incident which took place in their office should have been resolved by the parties on that day itself, instead of stretching it so far—Proceedings pending in the court of CJM against the appellant are quashed and set aside—Appeal allowed.
