Court No. - 1
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 10444 of 2018 Petitioner :- Smt. Arti Kapoor @ Roshni Oberoi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Irshad Ahmad Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.,Rakesh Chandra Tiwari
Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J. Hon'ble Dinesh Kumar Singh-I,J.
Heard Sri Irshad Ahmad, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Rakesh Chandra Tiwari, learned counsel for the respondent, Sri N.K. Verma, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the impugned F.I.R. as well as material brought on record.
The relief sought in this petition is for quashing of the F.I.R. dated 9.3.2018 registered as case crime no.38 of 2018 under sections 384, 342 I.P.C., police station Amroha Dehat District Amroha.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the main accused has been granted bail.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for quashing of the F.I.R. which discloses cognizable offence.
The Full Bench of this Court in Ajit Singh @ Muraha v. State of U.P. (2006 (56) ACC 433) reiterated the view taken by the earlier Full Bench in Satya Pal v. State of U.P. (2000 Cr.L.J. 569) after considering the various decisions including State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (AIR 1992 SC 604) that there can be no interference with the investigation or order staying arrest unless cognizable offence is not ex-facie discernible from the allegations contained in the F.I.R. or there is any statutory restriction operating on the power of the Police to investigate a case.
From the perusal of the FIR, prima facie it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is made out. Hence no ground exists for quashing of the F.I.R. or staying the arrest of the petitioners.
The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
