Ganesh Kumar Gupta v. State of U.P. and 2 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad dismissed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition seeking quashing of an FIR alleging offences under IPC Sections 420, 467, 468, 504, and 506. The court rejected the plea as misconceived, holding that FIR allegations disclose cognizable offences and that defences are not acceptable in writ petitions seeking quashing.

The writ petition for quashing of the FIR was dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to apply for bail.
