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.76 of 2026 Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Mr. Saurabh Kr. Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioners. 2. Mr. Rakesh Negi, learned B.H. for the State. 3. Petitioners have challenged the FIR No.0276 of 2025 dated 12.08.2025 (Annexure No.1) registered at P.S. Haldwani, District Nainital. 4. Facts of the case are that the impugned FIR was lodged by respondent no.3 against the petitioners stating therein that her daughter in law and other family members covered their faces with a mask and committed a life threatening attack upon them. It was also stated that the lock of gate was broke upon and they illegally tried to commit the house trespass. It was also stated by the respondent no.3 that against her husband, her daughter in law has lodged an FIR on 09.07.2025 of attempt to commit rape and in sequel to the said incident, present incident was committed. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is the case of dispute between the daughter in law and son of respondent no.3. The present FIR is the counterblast to the FIR lodged by respondent no.3. 6. On the other hand, learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the writ petition and argued that the allegations are serious in nature. 7. Having heard the learned Counsel for the parties and on going through the allegations leveled against the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the allegations leveled are quite serious in nature. There is no ground much less reasonable to interfere with the impugned FIR. The petition lacks merit and the same is dismissed at the threshold itself. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 10.01.2026 R.Dang
