And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Pravin Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.,Harishchandra Dubey,Ram Mohan Hon'ble Rajiv Gupta,J. Hon'ble Subhash Chandra Sharma,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned A.G.A. for the State, Shri Harishchandra Dubey, learned counsel for respondent no.4 and perused the record. 2. The instant writ petition seeks quashing of the FIR dated 29.01.2025 giving rise to Case Crime No. 38 of 2025, under Sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 331(5), 115(2), 351(3), 352, 118(1) of BNS, 2023, Police Station- Ghiraur, District- Mainpuri. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that from the allegation made in the first information report, prima facie no offence, complained of, is disclosed against the petitioners. He has further submitted that in respect of the incident, an FIR was lodged by petitioner no.4, which has been registered vide Case Crime No.37 of 2025. Subsequently, another counter version has been lodged by respondent no.4 by means of the impugned FIR and therefore, the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed. 4. Per contra, learned AGA as well as learned counsel for respondent no.4 have vehemently opposed the said prayer and have submitted that in the said incident, the petitioners have beaten the complainant party, consequent to which, Lalitesh and Harendra have suffered injuries and have been medically examined. 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. Niraj Tyagi and others. 5. 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 both the sides have suffered 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. 6. The prayer for quashing the impugned FIR is, therefore, refused. 7. 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. 8. With these observations, the instant writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 12.3.2025 Subham Digitally signed by :- SUBHAM KUSHWAHA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
