Yameen Ali is the Co-Chairman of the society named as Audhyogik Evam Shaikshnik Sansthan, a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that a first information report is lodged against the petitioner no. 1 and his family members alongwith other petitioners total 19, only to pressurize the petitioners not to interfere in the working of the aforesaid society. It is further contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that a writ petition of the petitioner no. 1 being WPMS No. 2308 of 2024 has been dismissed by
the coordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 09.09.2024, against which Special Appeal No. 310 of 2024 is pending and therefore in order to exert pressure upon the petitioners, the first information report has been lodged.
4. Per-contra, learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 4 submits that the long litigation was pending between the parties since 2012. He supplied to the court a compilation of the judgment passed in various writ petitions, special appeals and civil appeals, wherefrom, it is reflected that Yameen Ali and his family members are not even the members of the aforesaid society and in order to grab the property of the society, are using the seal and name of the society. The judgments passed in matters between the parties referred by the learned counsel for the respondent no. 4 are quoted hereinbelow:-

5. Having perused the FIR as well as the judgment referred by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the view that a prima-facie case is made out against the petitioner. The cognizable offence is made out against them, therefore, there is no occasion to entertain the matter and the FIR cannot be quashed only on this ground.
6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
