Neutral Citation No. - 2023:AHC:99912-DB
Court No. - 46
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 4538 of 2023
Petitioner :- Miyajan And 3 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Jai Shanker Malviya Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.
Hon'ble Anjani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Ms. Nand Prabha Shukla,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.G.A. for the State.
The instant writ petition seeks quashing of the FIR dated 26.02.2023 giving rise to Case Crime No.059 of 2023, under Sections 452, 323, 324 I.P.C., Police Station- Bhojpur, DistrictMoradabad.
Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties and upon a perusal of the record, we find that the submissions made on behalf of the petitioners are his defence, which cannot be looked into while dealing with a writ petition seeking quashing of a first information report.
Moreover, the allegations made in the First Information Report clearly disclose commission of cognizable offences and the allegations are serious in nature. Therefore, prayer of the petitioners to quash the First Information Report is completely misconceived and is rejected.
The writ petition is therefore dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to apply for bail/anticipatory bail.
