¶1Learned A.G.A. has produced a certificate, issued by the Principal, Lal Bahadur Shastri Smarak Gramothan Inter College, Fatehpur, certifying the date of birth of the victim to be 10.6.2006. The same is taken on record.

¶2Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the first informant and learned A.G.A. for the State.

¶3The instant writ petition seeks quashing of the FIR dated

22.7.2023 giving rise to Case Crime No. 202 of 2023, under Sections 363 I.P.C., Police Station-Husainganj, District-Fatehpur.

¶4The FIR alleges that the victim is minor. To controvert the allegations made in first information report, reliance has been placed on Aadhar Card.

¶5It is settled law that the Aadhar Card/Pan Card is not a valid document for the determination of age of an individual.

¶6Moreover, 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 petitioners to quash the First Information Report is completely misconceived and is rejected.

¶7The writ petition is therefore dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to apply for bail/anticipatory bail. Order Date :- 30.11.2023 Vandana High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
