Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned AGA for the State.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that no one has received any injury in the alleged offence.
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 petitioners shall not be arrested in the 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.
