Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J. Hon'ble Ajit Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Yogeshwar Rai, learned A. G. A. for the State.
This writ petition has been filed with the prayer to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned F. I. R. which has been registered as Case Crime No.6 of 2019, under Section 376-D I.P.C., P.S. Kotra, District Jalaun.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the impugned first information report has been lodged by complainant containing absolutely false and concocted allegations against the petitioner with the ulterior intention of harassing petitioner; contention is that the petitioner is a senior citizen and is 80 years of age, is a widower; his wife has expired died due to cancer; the petitioner has two sons both are married and are living separately with their children; the victim herself is the first informant, she was staying as a tenant in the property of the petitioner; much reliance has been placed on the averments made in paragraph nos.9, 10, 11 and 12 onwards of the writ petition, which has been duly perused; further placed reliance upon the compromise, copy of which has been annexed on page no.33 of the writ petition, the contention of which is self explicit; apart from the bald allegations made in the impugned F. I. R., no evidence is forthcoming even prima facie indicating at the complicity of the petitioner in the commission of alleged offence and hence the impugned F. I. R. which is a bundle of lies and motivated by malice, is liable to be quashed.
Per contra, learned A. G. A. has submitted that from the perusal of the allegations made in the impugned F. I. R., it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is made out, hence the impugned F. I. R. is not liable to be quashed.
After having heard the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties present and perused the impugned first information as well as the other material brought on record, we are not inclined to quash the impugned F. I. R.
However, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, we dispose of this writ petition with the direction that the petitioner shall not be arrested in the aforementioned case till submission of police report under Section 173 (2) Cr.P.C., however, petitioner shall participate and co-operate with the investigation and the police authorities are directed to complete the investigation as early as possible.
