The present FIR has been lodged by the respondent no.4 alleging that the petitioner who was appointed as Assistant Teacher in Primary School on 30.6.2011, his B.Ed degree issued from Dr. Bheem Rao Ambedkar University, Agra is forged.

The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the impugned first information report has been lodged by complainant containing absolutely false and concocted allegations against the petitioner with the ulterior intention of harassing the petitioner. Reliance has been placed upon the order dated 13.9.2019 passed in Writ A no. 13785 of 2019 in which indulgence has been granted in favour of similarly placed co-accused; matter requires deeper and fairer investigation before any arrest should be given effect to and the petitioner will participate and co-operate with the investigation; apart from the bald allegations made in the impugned F. I. R., no evidence is forthcoming even prima facie indicating at the complicity of the petitioner in the commission of alleged offence and hence the impugned F. I. R. is liable to be quashed.

¶9

Per contra learned A.G.A. contended that the allegations made in the first information report cannot be aborted at this stage. The petitioner will have sufficient opportunity to rebut the allegations.

¶10
