This writ petition has been filed praying for the following reliefs: "(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned First Information Report dated 20.01.2025 registered as Case Crime No. 19 of 2025, under Sections 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 308(2), 132, 352, 351(2) B.N.S., Police Station- Nagal, District- Saharanpur (Annexure No. 1 to this writ petition). (ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents not to arrest or harass the petitioners in pursuance of impugned First Information Report." 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they are not named in the FIR. The main accused Tanveer, who is brother of the first petitioner is already arrested by the police. Other co-accused Rja is also arrested by the police. Hence, the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed. 4. Learned AGA opposed the prayer for quashing of the FIR, which discloses cognizable offence. 5. The correctness of the allegations would have to be tested on the basis of the materials collected during the course of investigation as by insertion of notification No.1058/79-V-1-19-1 (Ka)-20-2018 dated 6th June 2019 and therefore, in view of the law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Haryana and others vs. Bhajan Lal and others, 1992 Supp. (1) SCC 335 and M/s Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. vs. State of Maharashtra, AIR 2021 SC 1918 and in Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.)

No. 10913 of 2023 (Directorate of Enforcement vs. Niraj Tyagi & ors.), no case has been made out for interference with the impugned first information report. 6. The writ petition is dismissed leaving it open for the petitioners to apply before the competent court for anticipatory bail/bail as permissible under law and in accordance with law. 7. It is made clear that we have not adjudicated the contentions raised by learned counsel for the petitioners and the same are left open for the petitioners to raise at an appropriate stage in an appropriate proceeding, in accordance with law.
