And 3 Others .....Respondent(s)
6. Learned AGA for the State as well as learned counsel for the respondent no.4 has further submitted that from the allegations made in the F.I.R., prima facie offence is clearly disclosed against the petitioner, therefore, the impugned F.I.R. can not be quashed in view of law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the cases of State of Telangana Vs. Habib Abdullah Jellani reported in (2017) 2 SCC 779, Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. vs. State of Maharashtra and Others reported in (2021) SCC Online SC 315 and in a recent decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Criminal Appeal No. 843 of 2024, Directorate Enforcement Vs. Niraj Tyagi and others. 7.
Having considered the rival submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the victim has received burn injuries, due to which, she is still hospitalized and the fact that impugned F.I.R. discloses cognizable offence against the petitioner, we are of the opinion that the impugned F.I.R. can not be quashed, therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned F.I.R. is refused. 8. However in case, the petitioner files an application for anticipatory/regular bail before the appropriate court, his bail application shall be considered and disposed of as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law. 9. With the aforesaid observations, the instant writ petition is finally disposed of. September 24, 2025 Nadim CRLP No. 21850 of 2025 2 (Rajiv Lochan Shukla,J.) (Rajiv Gupta,J.)
