Hon'ble Bala Krishna Narayana,J. Hon'ble Krishna Pratap Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A. G. A. for the State.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer to quash the F. I. R., which has been registered as Case Crime No. 557 of 2018, under Sections-420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC at P. S.-Baldev, district- Mathura.
It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the impugned F. I. R. has been lodged by the respondent no. 4 falsely alleging therein that the petitioner before lodging of the F. I. R. had made an attempt to join the post of Assistant Teacher in the institution of the respondent no. 4 on the basis of a forged appointment letter. He has further submitted that it has not been verified til date whether the petitioner had made an attempt to obtain appointment on the basis of a forged certificate. He has also submitted that apart from the bald allegations made in the impugned F. I. R., there is no evidence even prima facie indicating at the complicity of the petitioner in the commission of the alleged crime, hence the impugned F. I. R, which is a bundle of lies and product of malice, is liable to be quashed.
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 abovementioned case, till the credible evidence is not collected by the investigating officer during investigation.
With the above directions, this petition is disposed of finally.
