Hon'ble Pritinker Diwaker,J.
Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J.
Heard Sri Harshit Gupta, counsel for the petitioners and Sri Ankit Prakash, counsel for the State and perused the records.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashment of FIR dated 9.6.2021 in respect of Crime No.0068 of 2021 for the offence under Section 406 of IPC, P.S. Ubhaon, District Ballia.
Learned counsel submits that dispute between the parties appears to be of civil nature but has been given a criminal colour, just to pressurize the petitioner. He submits that at least no case is made out against petitioner nos. 2 to 4 and before cutting the crop, an intimation was also sent to the Revenue Authorities.
At this stage, counsel for the petitioners, submits that he may be permitted to withdraw this writ petition with liberty to file anticipatory bail application before the competent court. It has been argued that in the eventuality of filing any such application, the competent court be directed to decide the same, considering all the aspects of the case including the pendency of civil dispute between the parties.
Learned A.G.A. has no objection so far as withdrawal of the writ petition is concerned. He, however, submits that discretion be given to the competent court to decide the anticipatory bail application in accordance with law.
The petition is dismissed as withdrawn, permitting the petitioners to file anticipatory bail application before the competent court.
Needless to state that in the eventuality of filing any such application by the petitioners, the competent court may decide the same expeditiously, considering all the aspects of the case.
It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and the said court to act in accordance with law.
The party shall file computer generated copy of such order downloaded from the official website of High Court Allahabad, self attested by the petitioners alongwith a self attested identity proof of the said person (s) (preferably Aadhar Card) mentioning the mobile number (s) to which the said Aadhar Card is linked.
