Santosh Kumar and 6 Others v. State of U.P. and 3 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
A two-judge bench dismissed a Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition seeking quashing of an FIR. The court held that the petitioners' submissions were merely their defence, ineligible for consideration in a quashing writ. Additionally, the FIR clearly alleged serious cognizable offences, making the quashing prayer misconceived.
What did the court decide?
The prayer for quashing of the FIR is rejected. The writ petition is dismissed.
