It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the impugned F.I.R.. The Block Development Officer, Hardoi has lodged the impugned F.I.R. at the behest of the former Sabhasad. 4. We have gone through the contents of the F.I.R. and we find from the same that a complaint was received by the Previous Sabhasad with regard to conduct of the representative of current Sabhasad i.e. the petitioner himself. A local inspection was directed by the District Magistrate, Hardoi at Primary School, Chhipi Tola, City- Pihani, District-Hardoi. In pursuance of the said direction the Basic Education Officer along-with B.D.O. and E. O. Nagar Palika, Pihani, Hardoi inspected the school. During inspection it was found that Arun Gupta who is the nephew of the present Sabhasad and claims to be her representative had removed the interlocking tiles in the courtyard of the school and given it to one Hari Kishor Hari for personal use. The interlocking tiles were actually found outside the house of Hari Kishor Hari. The cook of the aforesaid school had also informed about the petitioner Arun Gupta. It has been alleged in the impugned F.I.R. that Arun Gupta has obtained no permission for the removal of interlocking tiles from the compound of the primary school. There was no approval to the proposal of laying of new interlocking tiles in the premises of the school, therefore, the old could not be removed. 5. Having gone through the contents of the F.I.R., which has been lodged by the Block Development Officer after due inspection, in which the Basic Education Officer along-with B.D.O. and E. O. Nagar Palika, Pihani, Hardoi were present. 6. We find that a cognizable offence is made out. There is no need to show interference. 7. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
