This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners with the prayer to quash the F.I.R. dated 17.08.2018 registered as Case Crime No. 135 of 2018, under Sections 342, 363, 394, 406, 506, I.P.C., P.S.- Zamania, District- Ghazipur.
From the perusal of the F.I.R., it appears that on the basis of the allegations made therein, prima facie cognizable offence is made out. There is no ground for interference with the F.I.R. Therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned F.I.R. is refused.
However, considering the nature of the allegations made in the F.I.R., the provisions of Section 157 Cr.P.C. and the view taken by the Apex Court in the case of Joginder Kumar Versus State of U.P.; 1994 Cr.L.J 1981, it is directed that the petitioner shall not be arrested in the above mentioned case, till the credible evidence is not collected by the Investigating Officer during investigation.
With the above directions, this petition is disposed of finally.
