CrPC Section 482 | No Mini-Trial at Quashing Stage; Prima Facie Case Suffices for Cognizance : Allahabad HC Reaffirms Judicial Restraint
Allahabad HC dismisses a quashing petition, holding that courts cannot conduct a mini-trial or demand corroborative evidence at the summoning stage under CrPC 482. The ruling reaffirms that mere existence of a prima facie case-even with factual discrepancies-is sufficient for cognizance, protecting accused from premature judicial scrutiny while ensuring procedural fairness.
