Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J. Hon'ble Raj Beer Singh,J.
Heard Sri Brajesh Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri N.K. Tiwari, learned A.G.A. appearing for the State and perused the impugned F.I.R. as well as material brought on record.
The relief sought in this petition is for quashing of the F.I.R. dated 23.2.2017 registered as Case Crime No. 105 of 2017 under section 409 I.P.C., police station Gandhi Park, District Aligarh.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that three enquiries were conducted against the petitioner for the allegations levelled in the F.I.R. and in all the enquiry different amount which is said to have been embezzled by the petitioner was disclosed. He submits that there is specific allegation against three persons but the F.I.R. has been lodged only against the petitioner. Moreover, the matter is to be investigated by the Economic Offence Wing, Meerut, hence the present F.I.R. is liable to be quashed.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for quashing of the FIR which discloses cognizable offence.
After having examined the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned FIR, we are of the opinion that the impugned FIR discloses cognizable offence against the petitioner, hence, no interference is called for by this Court in its extraordinary power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for quashing of the FIR or for grant of any interim relief to the petitioner.
The petition lacks merit and is, accordingly, dismissed.
