Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:35756-DB Court No. - 1 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 5305 of 2025 Petitioner :- Surendra Kumar Pandey And Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Mini. Of Home Lko And Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anita Tiwari,Ishika Srivastava,Satish Kumar Srivastava,Simi Jha Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Attau Rahman Masoodi,J. Hon'ble Subhash Vidyarthi,J. 1. Supplementary affidavit filed today by the learned counsel for the petitioners is taken on record. 2. Heard Sri Satish Kumar Srivastava, the learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri Abhay Kumar Singh, the learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri Puttu Lal Misra, Advocate, who has filed his vakalatnama on behalf of respondent No.4/ informant in Court today, which is taken on record. 3. By means of the instant writ petition, the petitioners have sought quashing of F.I.R. No.0134 of 2025 dated 01.06.2025, under Sections 191(2), 190, 115(2), 352, 351(2) and 109(1) B.N.S., Police Station Kotwali Dehat, District Pratapgarh. 4. A perusal of the F.I.R. indicates that the complainant has alleged that the accused persons had assaulted the informant, his father and uncle at about 07:30 PM on 01.06.2025 with sticks and iron rods causing serious injuries to them. The informant's father vomited blood and fell unconscious due to serious injuries suffered by him. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the F.I.R. does not disclose complete facts and the informant has concealed that persons from both the sides have received injuries in the incident. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioners has also filed a supplementary affidavit contending that the F.I.R. has been lodged as a counterblast action and the F.I.R. from the petitioners' side has not been registered. 7. While exercising the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India while dealing with the prayer for quashing of the F.I.R., this Court can merely ascertain whether commission of any cognizable offence is made out from a bare perusal of the allegations levelled in the F.I.R. or not. The F.I.R. in the present case clearly discloses commission of cognizable offence by the accused persons. The facts, which have allegedly been concealed in the F.I.R., cannot be examined by this Court while examining the validity of the F.I.R., and that would be done by the Investigating Officer during investigation or by the trial court during inquiry. 8. Since the perusal of the F.I.R. clearly discloses commission of cognizable offence by the petitioners, no ground is made out for quashing of the F.I.R. 9. The writ petition lacks merit and the same is, accordingly, dismissed.
