Per contra, learned AGA has submitted that in the instant case petitioner has also filed Anticipatory bail application which has been rejected by the trial court as well as by this court and from the allegation made in the first information report, prima facie offence, complained of is clearly disclosed against the petitioner and, as such, the first information report cannot be quashed in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case 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. 5. Having considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegations made in the FIR and the relevant law cited by the learned AGA and the fact that impugned FIR disclosed cognizable offence, we are of the opinion that the impugned FIR cannot be quashed. 6.
