By means of this petition, the petitioner has assailed the impugned FIR bearing FIR/Case Crime No.0268 of 2025, under Sections 69 & 351 (2) of B.N.S., Police Station- Fakharpur, District- Bahraich. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case as he has not committed any offence as alleged. Attention has been drawn towards Annexure No.2 of the petition, which is a copy of marriage agreement dated 16.12.2022 between the petitioner and the prosecutrix alongwith Nikahnama. In the marriage agreement, photograph of the petitioner and the prosecutrix has been affixed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner has got married with the prosecutrix but later on, he came to know that she is already married lady and has not been divorced till date. When the petitioner started inquiry about this fact, the prosecutrix lodged a false and misconceived FIR against him. Learned counsel has stated that as a matter of fact, the present applicant is a victim, not the prosecutrix. He has further submitted that investigation is going on and the petitioner undertakes that he shall cooperate in the investigation properly. 4. Sri Sumit Chauhan and Sri Bhanu Pratap Singh have submitted that since the FIR has been lodged and investigation is going on, therefore, direction may be issued to the present petitioner to cooperate in the investigation inasmuch as the allegation of the FIR may be verified during the course of the investigation. 5. Be that as it may, since learned counsels for the parties have appeared and they have agreed that this petition may be disposed of finally at the admission stage, therefore, without entering into merits of the issue, we hereby dispose of this petition finally at the admission stage protecting the liberty of the present petitioner till completion of the investigation and filing of the police report, subject to his proper cooperation in the investigation. 6.
