Heard Sri Lokendra Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.G.A.
This writ petition has been filed, seeking a writ of mandamus, directing the respondent concerned, not to arrest the petitioner, with a further prayer for quashing the impugned FIR dated 26.9.2016 registered as Case Crime No.463/2016, under Sections 408/506 IPC, P.S. Gulawathi, Bulandshahar.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The allegations levelled against him are absolutely false, frivolous and baseless, the FIR is liable to be quashed.
Per contra, the learned A.G.A has opposed the submission.
After having heard learned counsel for the parties and perusing the impugned FIR as well as the other material brought on record, it cannot be said that prima facie no offence is made out against the petitioners. Therefore, the prayer for quashing the FIR is refused.
However, we dispose of this writ petition with the direction that investigation of the aforesaid case shall go on but the petitioner shall not be arrested in the aforesaid case till the submission of police report under Section 173(2) Cr.P.C., subject to his cooperation during investigation.
With this direction, this petition is finally disposed of.
