He has further submitted that from the allegations made in the first information report, prima facie offence is clearly disclosed against the petitioner, therefore, the impugned first information report can not be quashed in view of law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of State of Telangana Vs. Habib Abdullah Jellani reported in (2017) 2 SCC 779, Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt.

Niraj Tyagi and others. 5. Having considered the rival submission made by learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that in the instant case, the petitioner has not been cooperating in the on going investigation, consequent thereto, non bailable warrant has been issued against him and in view of the allegations made
in the FIR and the relevant law cited by learned AGA and the fact that impugned first information report discloses cognizable offence against the petitioner, we are of the opinion that the impugned first information report can not be quashed. 6. The prayer for quashing the impugned first information report is therefore, refused. 7. With the aforesaid observations, the instant writ petition stands dismissed.
