Judgment:

Surya Prakash Kesarwani, J.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A.

This application has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying to quash the impugned order dated 4.4.2017, passed by the Sessions Judge, Muzaffarnagar, in Criminal Revision No.61 of 2017 (Dr. Vijay Singh Vs. State of U.P. and another) and order dated 19.2.2016, passed by the C.J.M., Muzaffarnagar in Complaint Case No.8596 of 2015 (Dr. B.K. Ojha Vs.

The complaint case filed by the opposite party no.2 is an abuse of process of Court and, therefore, deserves to be quash.

Learned A.G.A. supports the impugned summoning order as well as order passed by the revisional Court.
