2025:UHC:485 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPCRL No.827 of 2021 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. There is no representation for the petitioners. Mr. K.S. Bora, Deputy Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand. 2. Petitioner has sought quashing of F.I.R. No.0160 of 2021, registered against him for offence punishable under Section 3/5/11 of Cow Progeny Act, 2007 in Police Station Jhabrera, District Haridwar. He has also sought a direction to the Police Authorities not to arrest him, pursuant to the aforesaid F.I.R. 3. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of M/s Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. Vs. State of Maharashtra & others, reported in AIR 2021 SC 1918, have laid down parameters for exercise of power under Article 226 of Constitution, in such matters. 4. The impugned F.I.R. is on record as Annexure No.1 to the writ petition. Perusal of the F.I.R. reveals that ingredients of offences levelled against the petitioner are made out. 5. Whether the allegations are true or untrue, would have to be decided in the trial. While exercising power under Article 226 of the Constitution, this Court is not expected to embark upon an enquiry into, whether there is reliable evidence or not. It is not a case where FIR does not, disclose any offence. None of the parameters laid down by Hon’ble 2025:UHC:485 Supreme Court, for invoking power under Article 226 of the Constitution for quashing an FIR, are met in the present case. 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.
