2. Mr. J.P. Kandal, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand.
3. Petitioner has sought quashing of F.I.R. No. 0068 of 2021, registered against him for offences punishable under Sections 3, 5 & 11(1) of Cow Progeny Uttarakhand Protection of Cow Progeny Act in Police Station I.T.I., District Udham Singh Nagar.
4. The impugned F.I.R. is on record as Annexure No. 1 to the writ petition. Perusal of FIR reveals that specific allegations have been made against the petitioner.

6. In such view of the matter, there is no scope for interference with the impugned FIR while exercising extraordinary power under Article 226 of the Constitution.
7. Accordingly, the writ petition fails and is dismissed.
