It is also alleged that during the course of scuffle, complainant's
son Mohit came there and pushed the petitioner to avoid some
untoward incident and thereafter the petitioner left complainant's
house. It is also stated that though the petitioner was not

Hospital and lodged a false FIR against the complainant, his son
and wife. It is further stated that the petitioner has also obtained
false medical certificate with the connivance of the government
doctor. It is stated that the petitioner has outraged modesty of
complainant's wife. The impugned FIR has been registered on the
basis of complaint field by the complainant in the court of the
ACJM No.1, Sriganganagar, wherein the investigation is going on.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that as a
matter of fact, the impugned FIR is noting but a counter to the FIR
lodged by the petitioner on 27.09.2021. It is also submitted that
the petitioner did not attack or outrage modesty of complainant's
wife. It is further submitted that as a matter of fact, the
complainant and his son had assaulted the petitioner on
27.09.2021, but the complainant has filed this false FIR with the
intention to save himself and his family members in the FIR
lodged at the instance of the petitioner. It is also submitted that
the impugned FIR has been lodged after around more than one
and half months of the alleged incident.
Learned counsel for the petitioner, thus, prayed that the
impugned FIR may kindly be quashed.
Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed this
criminal misc. petition and argued that from a bare reading of the
impugned FIR, commission of offence is made out.
(3 of 3) [CRLMP-11/2022]
Learned Public Prosecutor has submitted a factual report
dated 06.01.2022, wherein it is mentioned that the police after
thorough investigation into the impugned FIR has concluded that
on 26.9.2021, at around 8:30 AM, the petitioner went to
complainant's house and while abusing the complainant and his
wife had forcibly entered into the house and, thereafter, some
altercation took place between the petitioner and complainant, his
son and wife, which resulted into the scuffle. Learned Public
Prosecutor has also submitted that at present the police has found
case against the petitioner for the offence under Section 452, 504
and 509 IPC.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
impugned FIR.
It is well settled that while exercising powers under Section
482 Cr.P.C. in case of quashing FIR, this Court is required to look
into truthfulness of the allegations and if from a bare reading of
the impugned FIR, case for commission of offence is made out.
The FIR in question cannot be quashed. In the present case from
reading of the FIR case for commission of offence is made out.
Resultantly, this criminal misc. petition being devoid of merit
is hereby dismissed.
The factual report submitted by learned Public Prosecutor is
taken on record.
