Hon'ble Shri Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Justice Sharad Kumar Gupta
Judgment on Board Per Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, Chief Justice 17.08.2017
WA-576 of 2015 & other appeals

led to further proceeding in the form of investigation and/or registration of FIR. Therefore, applying the ratio of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Ram Kishan Fauji Vs State of Haryana and others 2017 (5) SCC 533, particularly the principles emanating out of paragraph 61 and 62 of that judgment as reported in SCC, we cannot but hold that the effort of the Writ Petitioners before the learned Single Judge was to avoid a criminal investigation and the result of the final order of the Writ Court is the quashment of further criminal proceedings. Obviously, therefore, an appeal does not lie against the impugned judgment to the Division Bench. Therefore, these appeals are not maintainable.
