JUDGMENT Hon'ble Lok Pal Singh, J. This petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking the following reliefs: “(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the FIR dated 19.04.2017 registered as FIR No. 210/2017, U/s 386, 388, 389 & 120-B I.P.C., at P.S. Kashipur, District U.S. Nagar (Annexure-1), so far it relates to petitioner. (ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing/commanding the respondent Nos. 1 to 3 to not to arrest the petitioners till the pendency of the present writ petition." 2. On 19.04.2017, an F.I.R. was lodged by the respondent no. 4 alleging therein that the petitioner along with others extorting money from the complainant on the pretext of withdrawal of complaint case registered against the respondent no. 4 at Muzaffarnagar. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that allegations made against the petitioner in the impugned F.I.R. are totally false and, therefore, protection should be granted to the petitioner. He submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the instant case. 4. Learned Deputy Advocate General vehemently opposed the writ petition. He submitted that allegations made against the petitioner are serious in nature. Therefore, interim relief should not be granted to the petitioner and the writ petition filed by him deserves to be dismissed at the threshold. 5. I have considered the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the papers available on record. 6. The Hon'ble Apex Court, in the case of State of West Bengal. Vs. Swapna Kumar, 1982 (1) SCC 561 , has held that if an offence is disclosed, Court will not normally interfere with the investigation into the case, and will permit investigation into the offence alleged to be completed. If the FIR, prima facie, discloses the commission of an offence, the Court does not normally stop the investigation, for, to do so would be to trench upon the lawful power of the police to investigate into cognizable offences. 7. From perusal of FIR, I find that contents of F.I.R. disclose offence and it is for the Investigating Officer to investigate the case and, thereafter, either to file charge sheet or final report in the matter. It is not a fit case, where the High Court should interfere in this criminal writ petition moved under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
