Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri Chandan Agarwal, learned counsel for the respondent no. 4, learned AGA for the respondents-State and perused the record.
This petition for writ under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is preferred with a prayer to quash the first information report dated 08.12.2017 bearing Case Crime No. 0861 of 2017 pending investigation at Police Station - Modi Nagar, District - Ghaziabad pertaining to offence punishable under Section 135E Electricty Act.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no case is made out against the petitioners for the offences referred in the first information report.
Having considered the facts stated in the first information report, we do not find any just reason to quash the first information report as that discloses commission of an offence cognizable.
However, looking to the nature of the case and other surrounding circumstances, we deem it appropriate to direct the respondent no. 3- Station House Officer not to arrest the petitioners- Sanjay Singh, Lal Sahab Singh, Baleshwar Singh in relation to first information report referred to above till submission of the police report under Section 173 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioners shall cooperate in the investigation.
The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
Order Date :- 23.3.2018 Rameez .
