Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J. Hon'ble Dinesh Kumar Singh-I,J.
Heard Sri S.K. Tewari, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri G.P. Singh, learned AGA 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 22.3.2018, registered as case crime no.232 of 2018, u/s 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, P.S. Civil Lines, district Moradabad.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations made against the petitioners are absolutely false, frivolous and baseless, hence present FIR be quashed.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for quashing and submitted that the co- accused persons of the present case have earlier approached this court for quashing of the FIR by filing Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No.11318 of 2018 in which interim protection has been granted in their favour on the ground of ladies and case of the petitioner was distinguished.
After having examined the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned FIR, we are of the opinion that the impugned FIR discloses cognizable offence against the petitioners, hence no interference is called for by this Court in its extraordinary power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for quashing of the FIR or for grant of any interim relief to the petitioner.
The petition lacks merit and is, accordingly, dismissed.
