WPCRL No. 1378 of 2021 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.
There is no representation for the petitioner.
2. Mr. K.S. Bora, Deputy Advocate General with Mr. J.P. Kandpal, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand.
3. Petitioner has sought quashing of FIR/Case Crime No. 637 of 2021, for offences punishable under Sections 323, 452, 354, 504 & 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Manglaur, District Haridwar.
4. Learned State Counsel submits that upon investigation, chargesheet has been filed against petitioner on
10.05.2022. Thus, he submits that writ petition has become infructuous.
5. Merely because chargesheet is filed, will not render the writ petition infructuous. FIR can still be quashed, if no case is made out from reading of the FIR.
6. The impugned F.I.R. is on record as Annexure No.1 to the writ petition. The allegations against the petitioner are
2025:UHC:1047 specific and the ingredients of the offences are made out. Whether the allegations made in the F.I.R. are correct or not, cannot be examined at this stage. It is matter of trial.
7. In view of parameters laid down by 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, this Court does not find any reason to interfere with the impugned F.I.R.
8. Accordingly, the writ petition fails and is dismissed.
