¶26

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that

¶27

the entire allegations are false and are purely motivated.

¶28

On perusal of the FIR, this Court is of the view that

¶29

the allegations have to be probed into and it has to be investigated as to whether the complaint is a result of motivation or not and it cannot be concluded at this stage merely because the complaint is lodged against the members of the legal fraternity. The allegations that they were abused by the Police Officers, at this stage, cannot be taken as gospel truth, and they have to be investigated. Therefore, I do not find any merit at this stage to interfere with the FIR. The Police is directed to complete the investigation and file a final report fairly, if they find that there is no material is available to proceed against the petitioner, in all fairness, they should file a negative report.

¶30

With the above direction, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
