SL. No Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGES’S ORDERS WPCRL 1759/2021 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. None appears for the petitioners. Mr. Devendra Singh, AGA, with Mr. J.P. Kandpal, Brief Holder for the State. (2) Petitioners have sought quashing of FIR No. 390 of 2021, lodged against them for the offences punishable under Section 307, 498A, 323 and 506 IPC at PS Jhabrera, District Haridwar. (3) Learned State Counsel submits that upon investigation, chargesheet has been filed against petitioners. He thus submits that writ petition has become infructuous and petitioners can challenge the chargesheet in proceedings under Section 528 of BNSS, if so advised. (4) Writ petition does not become infructuous merely because chargesheet is filed. I have gone through the impugned FIR, which is on record as Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Specific and serious allegations have been made against petitioners. It is not the case that necessary ingredients of the alleged offences are not made out. Whether the allegations are correct or incorrect cannot be gone into by this Court in a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution. It is a matter of trial. Although petitioners contend that they have been falsely implicated in this case, the said contention cannot be considered by this Court at this stage. (5) In an authoritative judicial pronouncement rendered in the case of M/s Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Maharashtra & others, reported in AIR 2021 SC 1918, Hon’ble Supreme has set out parameters for quashing the FIR. None of those parameters is met for quashing the impugned FIR. Thus there is no scope for interference. (6) Writ petition thus fails and is dismissed. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 3.1.2025 Pr
