HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 5108 of 2026 Court No. - 47 HON'BLE RAJEEV MISRA, J.
HON'BLE LAKSHMI KANT SHUKLA, J.
1. Heard Mr. Hari Om Shukla, the learned counsel for petitioners and the learned AGA representing State-respondent 1, 2 and 3.
2. Perused the record.
3. Petitioner Tulsi Pathak and two others have approached this Court by means of present Criminal Misc. Writ Petition challenging the FIR dated 21.02.2026 lodged by first informant/respondent 4, Sri Ramu Pathak and registered as Case Crime No. 0066 of 2026, under section 61(2), 87 BNS, Police Station Collector Bukganj, District Bareilly.
4. On the matter being taken up the learned AGA submits that petitioner 2 Vahid @ Bhura has been arrested whereas petitioner 1 Tulsi Pathak has been recovered. It is then contended by the learned AGA that during pendency of present writ petition the statement of prosecutrix was recorded under section 180 BNSS wherein the prosecutrix has fully supported the FIR.
5. As per the said statement the modesty of the prosecutrix was dislodged deliberately and forcibly and no consent was given by the prosecutrix to develop physical relation. On the above premise the learned AGA submits that individual innocence of petitioners 2 and 3 cannot be undertaken by this Court. As such the present writ petition is liable to be dismissed.
6. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for petitioners could Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Girish Kumar Mishra, Hari Om Shukla Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Tulsi Pathak And 2 Others .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Respondent(s)
not overcome the same.
7. Having heard the learned counsel for petitioners, the learned AGA representing State-respondents 1, 2, 3, upon perusal of record and considering the objections raised by the learned AGA in opposition to present writ petition as noted herein above, we are of the view that no good ground has emerged so as to quash the FIR. As a result the present writ petition fails and is liable to be dismissed.
8. It is accordingly, dismissed.
9. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. March 18, 2026 Arti CRLP No. 5108 of 2026 2 (Lakshmi Kant Shukla,J.) (Rajeev Misra,J.) Digitally signed by :- ARTI SHARMA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
