Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J. Hon'ble Pankaj Bhatia,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri V.K. Pandey, 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. 0057 of 2019 u/s 354A and 506 IPC and 7/8 POCSO Act PS Siddhupra District Kasganj.
Learned counsel for the petitioner(s) submitted that the impugned first information report has been lodged by complainant containing absolutely false and concocted allegations against the petitioner(s) with the ulterior intention of harassing petitioner(s); 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(s) 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 .
We have perused the FIR and from perusal of the allegations as made in the impugned F. I. R., it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is made out.
Reference may be made to the judgment of the Apex Court rendered in the case of R. Kalyani v. Janak C. Mehta and Others reported in 2009 (1) SCC 516. The said decision has also been followed by the Apex Court in the case of Kamlesh Kumari and Ors. v. State of U.P. and Ors. reported in 2015 AIR SCW 3700.
After hearing learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the impugned FIR and keeping in view the law as laid down by the Apex Court in the aforementioned cases, the Court is of the opinion that no case for grant of any indulgence is made out.
However, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is directed that in case the petitioner appears and surrenders before the courts below and applies for bail within two weeks from today, his prayer for bail shall be considered and decided expeditiously.
With the aforesaid direction, the instant writ petition is disposed of finally.
