Court No. - 43 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 17767 of 2023 Petitioner :- Rajeev Johari Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shubhranshu Pandey Counsel for Respondent :- G.A.,Brajesh Kumar Singh,Rohit Kumar Mishra Hon'ble Anjani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Anish Kumar Gupta,J.

¶1Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the first informant and learned A.G.A. for the State.

¶2The instant writ petition seeks quashing of the FIR dated

23.09.2023 giving rise to Case Crime No.0367 of 2023, under Sections 420, 406 I.P.C., Police Station-Kotwali, District-Bareilly.

¶3Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties and upon a perusal of the record, we find that the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner are his defence, which cannot be looked into while dealing with a writ petition seeking quashing of a first information report.

¶4Moreover, the allegations made in the First Information Report clearly disclose commission of cognizable offences and the allegations are serious in nature. Therefore, prayer of the petitioner to quash the First Information Report is completely misconceived and is rejected.

¶5The writ petition is therefore dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to apply for bail/anticipatory bail. Order Date :- 16.11.2023 Himanshu High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
