1. The present petition has been filed for issuance of writ in the

some fraud committed and financial exigency, the investment made by the general public was not returned, this led to the lodging of first FIR No.156/2018, under Section 420 of IPC, Police Station City Kotakpura, District Faridkot. Subsequent thereto, various investors in the State lodged various FIRs, as they had been cheated.
3. Learned State counsel, at this stage, submitted that, in fact the son of the petitioner has been convicted in one case FIR No.80 dated 16.12.2018, under Section 406 and 420 of IPC, registered at Police Station City Zira, Distt. Ferozepur for a period of 03 years with a fine of Rs.10,000/- and during his said conviction other FIRs have also been lodged against him.
4. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, at length, there is no threat perception to the life and liberty of the petitioner, and hence, the first prayer made in the present petition does not survive and the same is dismissed.
5. A perusal of the record shows that, in fact, this petition has been filed only to enable the son of the petitioner to get bail in other FIRs, which have been lodged against him. I do not find any merit in the present petition and a blanket direction cannot be issued restraining the police authorities not to lodge any FIR against the son of the petitioner.
6. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for withdrawal of the third prayer and does not press upon the said judgment.
7. In light of the above, being devoid of merit, the present petition
stands dismissed.
