Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.G.A.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned FIR dated 21.12.2018 registered as Case Crime No.0080 of 2018 under sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506, 377 I.P.C and 3/4 D.P. Act, P.S.- Sadabad Kotwali, District- Hathras.
This is an off-shoot of a matrimonial dispute and the impugned FIR has been lodged, on false / mischievious / vexatious allegations coupled with the fact that no credible evidence whatsoever is forthcoming even prima facie indicating at the petitioners' complicity in the commission of the alleged offence, the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed.
Per contra learned A.G.A, submitted that from the perusal of the impugned F.I.R, and on the basis of the allegations made therein, it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is disclosed against the petitioners.
After having heard learned counsel for the parties and perusing the impugned F.I.R, we are not inclined to quash the same.
However, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we direct that investigation of the aforesaid case shall go on but the petitioner shall not be arrested till the submission of police report under Section 173(2) Cr.P.C, subject to their extending full co-operation during investigation.
With the aforesaid direction, this petition is finally disposed of. Order Date :- 21.1.2019 Fhd.
