Court No. - 43 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 17904 of 2023 Petitioner :- Reyaz Ahmad Ansari Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Girdhar Prasad Tripathi,Sr. Advocate Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Anjani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Shekhar B. Saraf,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. The instant petition seeks quashing of the impugned F.I.R. dated

27.10.2023 giving rise to Case Crime No. 0283 of 2023, under Section 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Kasimabad, District Ghazipur. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he is not named in the first information report. In our considered opinion, since, the petitioner is not named in the first information report, he has no locus to file this writ petition. In case, his name has come to light during investigation, it is evidence which may have been collected during investigation that would not render the first information report liable to challenge. The writ petition is therefore dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to apply for bail/ anticipatory bail. Order Date :- 17.11.2023 Ashish High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
