They have further submitted that from the allegation made in the first information report, prima facie offence, complained of is clearly disclosed against the petitioners 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.

Having considered the rival submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegations made in the impugned F.I.R. and the fact that four persons, including one unknown person have beaten the two victims namely, Jai Prakash Rastogi and Ashok Kumar Verma, who have received injuries and have been medically examined and relevant law cited by learned A.G.A. for the State and the fact that impugned F.I.R. prima facie discloses cognizable offence against the petitioners and noting the submissions made by learned AGA, we are of the opinion that impugned first information report can not be quashed. 7. The prayer for quashing the impugned FIR is, therefore, refused. 8. However, in case, the petitioners file an application for anticipatory/ regular bail before the appropriate Court, their bail application be considered and disposed of as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law. 9. With these observations, the instant writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 13.2.2025 SFH Digitally signed by :- SYED FAHIM HUSAIN High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
