HON'BLE SALIL KUMAR RAI, J. HON'BLE PADAM NARAIN MISHRA, J.

The present writ petition has been filed challenging the first information report dated 18.07.2026 registering Case Crime No. 0390 of 2026, under Sections 123, 65(1), 352, 351(3), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2) of B.N.S., 2023 and Section 3, 4(2) of Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Police Station-Kalyanapur, District-Kanpur Nagar.

It has been argued by the counsel for the petitioner that the first informant is the legally wedded wife of the petitioner and the marriage was solemnized in the year 2018 and was also registered. It was argued that even from the recitals in the first information report the offence under the POCSO Act was committed in 2018. It was further argued that the delay in registering the first information report itself indicates that the first information report is malafide and has been registered only to harass the petitioner.
