By means of this petition moved under section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short Cr.P.C.) the petitioner has sought quashing of the proceedings of the summoning order dated 27.09.2006, passed in criminal case no. 4468 of 2011 (old no. 2228 of 2006) State vs. Naresh Pal, relating to offences punishable under section 379, 420 IPC, pending in the court of I Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun. The trial is pending since 2006. Though, the petitioner has pleaded that he is innocent, and he has committed no crime, but this Court is of the view that such pleas can be examined by the trial court after recording evidence as to whether the petitioner (accused) is innocent or not. The trial is pending for last five years. In the above circumstances, considering the nature of offence, and the period for which the trial is pending, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial of the case. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion as to final merits of the case, the petition under section 482 Cr.P.C., is dismissed summarily with the observation that if the petitioner Naresh Pal surrenders before the court concerned his bail application shall be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay.
