We have perused the First Information Report, which prima facie discloses commissioning of cognizable offence and, therefore, the prayer made to quash the First Information Report otherwise cannot be entertained in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of State of Telangana Vs. Habib Abdullah Jellani, (2017) 2 SCC 779 and Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. vs. State of Maharashtra and Others,

(2021) SCC Online SC 315. Prayer made in that regard is, therefore, declined. It is, however, provided that in the event provisions of Section 41-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure are attracted in the facts of the case, the authorities concerned shall ensure its compliance. Subject to the observations made above, this writ petition is consigned to records. Order Date :- 6.12.2023 Anil High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
