Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Ms. Anita Singh, learned counsel for respondent no. 4 and learned A.G.A. for the State.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with a prayer to quash the impugned F.I.R. dated 27.09.2018 registered as Case Crime No. 0166 of 2018, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 323, 325, 504, 506 IPC, PS Kheta Sarai, district Jaunpur.
It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the impugned FIR lodged by respondent No. 4 against the petitioners in a counterblast to the FIR lodged by petitioner no. 3 Dablu @ Ashutosh Srivastava and others with the ulterior intention of harassing them. Moreover, apart from bald allegations made in the F.I.R., no evidence whatsoever is forthcoming even prima facie indicating at the complicity of the petitioners in the commission of alleged crime, and hence the impugned F.I.R., which is a product of malice and bundle of lies, is liable to be quashed.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. submitted that the impugned F.I.R. is not liable to be quashed on the basis of the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioners.
From the perusal of the impugned F.I.R., it appears that on the basis of the allegations made therein prima-facie cognizable offence is made out. There is no scope of interfering in the F.I.R, therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned F.I.R. is refused.
However, considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners and the nature of the allegations made in the F.I.R., it is directed that till submission of police report under Section 173(2) Cr.P.C., the petitioners shall not be arrested in the aforesaid case subject to his extending full cooperation during investigation.
With the aforesaid direction, this writ petition is finally disposed of.
