Hon'ble Bala Krishna Narayana,J. Hon'ble Sanjay Kumar Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.G.A. for the State.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned F.I.R. dated 22.10.2018 registered as Case Crime No. 394 of 2018, under Sections 452, 354B, 323, 504 and 506 I.P.C., P.S. Gajraula, District Pilibhit.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the impugned F.I.R. has been lodged by the respondent no. 3 containing absolutely false and concocted allegations against the petitioners as a counter blast to the F.I.R. lodged by the petitioner no. 2 against one Ashok, son of respondent no. 3. Moreover apart from the bald allegations made in the impugned FIR no credible evidence whatsoever is coming forth even prima facie indicating at the petitioners complicity in the commission of the alleged crime and for the aforesaid reason the impugned F.I.R. is liable to be quashed.
Per contra learned A.G.A. submitted that from the perusal of the impugned F.I.R. and on the basis of the allegation made therein, it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is disclosed against the petitioners.
After having heard learned counsel for the parties present and perused the impugned F.I.R., we are not inclined to quash the same.
However, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we direct that investigation of the aforesaid case shall go on but the petitioners shall not be arrested till the submission of police report under section 173(2) Cr.P.C. subject to their extending full co-operation during investigation.
With the aforesaid direction, this petition is finally disposed of.
