Learned counsel for applicants refers the impugned order that learned Magistrate in a very cursory manner and without assigning specific reasons that there are sufficient ground to proceed has summoned as many as nine accused persons for an offence under Section 323 and 506 I.P.C. There is no injury report on record as well as allegations in regard to theft or robbery as mentioned in the statement was disbelieved. He also submits that even considering statement recorded during proceedings, offence under Section 506 of I.P.C. is not made out. 6. Court takes note of above submission and perused relevant documents. Relevant part of impugned summoning order is mentioned hereinafter: "पररिववाददी दवारिवा अपनने बयवान अअंतररत धवारिवा -200 द.प.सअं. मम पररिववाद पत्र कने तथ्ययों कवा समररन करितने हहए करन ककयवा रयवा हहै कक कदनवाअंक 17.06.2022 कक शवाम 04.00 बजने हमवारिने घरि मम शकएब , सईद (सससुरि), सतक (सवास), सवाकने ब (दनेवरि), खसुबनेब (दनेवरि), जदीशवान (ननदकई) फरिहवा (ननद), जनेबवा (ससौतन), शवालल (ससौतन कवा भवाई), मसुनवा (शवालल कने कपतवा), आशल (ननदकई), जवावनेद (चवाचवा) आयने औरि इन लकरयों नने मवारिपदीट ककी। मनेरिने सवार औरि कहवा कक तलवाक दक शकएब कक औरि समझसौतवा करिक मसुकदमम मम। जब यह लकर मवारिपदीट करि रिहने रने , तक आस पवास कने लकरयों नने मसुझने बचवायवा। अलमवारिदी सने 20 हजवारि रूपयने औरि एक अअंरलठदी कनकवाल करि शकएब औरि उसककी मवातवा जदी लने रययीं वह तलवाक दनेनने ककी धमककी दने रिहने हह औरि समझसौतवा करिनने कवा दबवाव बनवा रिहने हह। कवपकदीरण मसुझने जवान सने मवारिनने ककी धमककी दनेकरि चलने रयने , जजसककी पसुकष्टि पररिववाददी सवाकदी पदी .डब्लल. - 1, इमरिवान, पदी. डब्लल -2 सलदीम दवारिवा अपनने बयवान अअंतररत धवारिवा-202-द.प.सअं. मम ककी रई हहै। पत्रवावलदी परि उपलब्ध सवाक्ष्य कने पररिशदीलन सने यह स्पष्टि हकतवा हहै कक पररिववाकदनदी तरवा उसकने दवारिवा परिदीककत रववाहयों कने बयवानयों तरवा पत्रवावलदी परि उपलब्ध सवाक्ष्य कने आधवारि परि कवपकदीरण शकएब, सईद, सतक, सवाककब, खसुबनेब, शवालल, मसुनवा टनेलरि, आशसु, जवावनेद कने कवरूद्ध परम दृष्टियवा धवारिवा 323, 506 भवा.दअं.सअं. कने अअंतररत अपरिवाध बननवा पतदीत हकतवा हहै। पररिववाकदनदी दवारिवा अपनने बयवान मम कवपकदीरण दवारिवा 2 हजवारि रूपयने व एक अअंरलठदी कनकवाल करि लने जवानने कवा करन ककयवा रयवा हहै परिअंतसु पररिववाकदनदी दवारिवा इस सअंबअंध मम ककई सवाक्ष्य पस्तसुत नहयीं ककी रयदी हहै कक उक रूपयने कने सवामवान कवपकदीरण दवारिवा कहवाअं सने औरि कहै सने चसुरिवायने रयने हह। कवपकदीरण जदीशवान, फरिहवा एवअं जहैबवा दवारिवा घटनवा मम शवाकमल हकनने कने बवारिने मम पररिववाकदनदी दवारिवा अपनने बयवान मम नहयीं बतवायवा रयवा हहै। अततः कवपकदीरण शकएब , सईद, सतक, सवाककब, खसुबनेब, शवालल, मसुनवा टनेलरि, आशसु जवावनेद धवारिवा 323, 506 भवा.दअं.सअं. कने अअंतररत कवायरववाहदी ककयने जवानने हनेतसु जररियने समन आहहत ककयने जवानने यकग्य हह।" 7. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicants are also aggrieved by order passed in revision petition which has been passed in a very cursory manner and without assigning any specific reason it has been rejected though various grounds were taken therein, but the same is not on record. 8. I have considered above submissions and perused the relevant documents and since there is an allegation against nine persons that they have assaulted complainant side by 'Laathi', but injured were not medically examined, therefore, no offence was made out under Section 323 I.P.C. 9. Court also takes note that in order to make out a prima-facie case under Section 506 I.P.C., there must be an allegation that alleged insult was sufficient to provoke the person to commit an act to breach the peace, however the same is also missing. 10. In aforesaid circumstances, impugned order does not survive, therefore, impugned summoning order dated 15.9.2023 passed by learned Judicial Magistrate, Konch, District-Jalaun in Complaint Case No.735 of 2022 (Smt Khushuma Vs. Suyeb and others) under Sections 323 and 506 of I.P.C. is set aside and matter is remanded back to learned Trial Court to pass a fresh order taking note of judgment passed by Supreme Court in Mohammad Wajid & Anr. Vs. State of U.P. & Ors, 2023 INSC 683.
Decision
11. With the aforesaid observations/direction, this application is disposed of. Order Date :- 19.7.2024 SB
