Court No. - 1
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 24430 of 2018 Petitioner :- Karan Verma Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Jai Karan Nath Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.,Deependra Singh
Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J. Hon'ble Dinesh Kumar Singh-I,J.
Heard Sri Jai Karan Nath, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Sri Irshad Husain, learned Brief Holder appearing for the State and perused the impugned F.I.R. as well as material brought on record.
Sri Deependra Singh, learned counsel for the caveator is not present even in the revised list.
The relief sought in this petition is for quashing of the F.I.R. dated 04.08.2018 registered as Case Crime No. 1139 of 2018, under Sections 376D, 313, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station-Murad Nagar, District Ghaziabad.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is running a company in the name and style of Fucus Boro. The respondent no. 4 was having some relationship with the co-accused Shahbaz and when the relationship could not materialize the present FIR has been lodged. The petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are absolutely false, frivolous and baseless. From a perusal of the FIR, no offence is made out against the petitioner, hence, the same be quashed.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for quashing of the F.I.R. which discloses cognizable offence.
The Full Bench of this Court in Ajit Singh @ Muraha v. State of U.P. (2006 (56) ACC 433) reiterated the view taken by the earlier Full Bench in Satya Pal v. State of U.P. (2000 Cr.L.J. 569) after considering the various decisions including State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (AIR 1992 SC 604) that there can be no interference with the investigation or order staying arrest unless cognizable offence is not ex-facie discernible from the allegations contained in the F.I.R. or there is any statutory restriction operating on the power of the Police to investigate a case.
From the perusal of the FIR, prima facie it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is made out. Hence no ground exists for quashing of the F.I.R. or staying the arrest of the petitioner.
The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
