Order
23/07/2026
1. The instant misc. petition is listed before this Court in
pursuance of the directions issued by the Hon’ble Apex Court in
the case of Vijay Kumar and Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan
(Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.) No. 773/2026, decided
on 15.01.2026), wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court observed that in
various matters, interim orders have been passed in criminal
revision petitions and petitions filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., as
a result of which trial relating to serious offences such as murder,
rape, dacoity, dowry death, etc., could not proceed and remained
stalled/held up due to the passage of considerable time.
2. Directions have been issued to this Court and other High
Courts to take up such like matters which are pending since long,

[2026:RJ-JP:28448] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-2410/2023]
on priority and decide the same expeditiously without deferring
the hearings to subsequent dates.
3. The instant criminal misc. petition has bee preferred with a
prayer to quash the impugned FIR No.95/2023 registered at the
Police Station Ringas, District Sikar for the offences punishable
under Section 365, 376D, 504, 506, 323, 341 & 34 IPC.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has not committed any forceful act against the prosecutrix, in fact
she herself visited with the petitioner at various places like
Krishana Hotel and these facts are clear from the record of the
CCTV footage of the said hotel. Learned counsel submits that,
under these circumstances, the prosecutrix was a consenting
party, but later on she concocted a false story to implicate the
petitioner in the impugned FIR. Hence, interference of this Court is
warranted.
5. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer
made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submitted that
after investigation, the Police has submitted charge-sheet against
the petitioner for the offences under Sections 365 & 376 IPC by
finding a prima facie case against him in the month of September,
2023. Hence, interference of this Court is not warranted and the
instant petition is liable to be rejected.
6. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and
perused the material available on record.
7. Perusal of the allegations levelled in the impugned FIR
reveals commission of cognizable offence and the correctness of
the allegations cannot be examined by this Court while exercising
inherent powers contained under Section 482 Cr.P.C. This Court

(Downloaded on 27/07/2026 at 05:54:32 PM)
[2026:RJ-JP:28448] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-2410/2023]
cannot conduct fishing and roving enquiry to find out the truth
behind the allegations levelled against the petitioner. Certainly,
this task has been assigned to the Investigating Officer, who has
already found prima facie case against the petitioner and
therefore, charge-sheet has been submitted against him.
8. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case,
this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of the instant
criminal misc. petition granting liberty to the petitioner to take all
available defences, which have been taken before this Court at the
appropriate stage of the trial before the Trial Court.
9. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition stands
disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if
any, also stand disposed of.
