Hon'ble Alok Mathur,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the State respondents.
Since the point involved in the present writ petition is trivial in nature, so with the consent of learned counsel for the parties the present writ petition is being heard and decided at the admission stage itself.
Notice to opposite party No.3 is dispensed with.
This petition seeks issuance of writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari for quashing the impugned first information report registered as FIR/Case Crime No. 15 of 2021. under Sections 354, 506 IPC, Police Station - Kotwali Dehat, District - Gonda.

State of Bihar and another, reported in (2014) 8 SCC 273.
The present petition deserves to be disposed of in terms of the statement made by learned Additional Government Advocate.
Accordingly, this petition is disposed of in view of the provisions of Section 41-A Cr.P.C. and the law as laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Arnesh Kumar (supra).
