Allahabad High Court
GOVIND AND 3 OTHERSversusState of UP AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The charge‑sheet already filed by the police precludes the writ petition, and the petition is dismissed.
Summary
The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition challenging the FIR lodged in Crime No.103 of 2024, which alleged offences under Sections 85, 115(2), 352, 351(3) of the BNS Act and Sections 3 and 4 of the D.P. Act. No petitioner appeared before the court, though the State's Additional Government Advocate was present. The court noted that the police had already filed a charge‑sheet (CS‑1198/10/24) after completing its investigation and finding the petitioners' involvement. The court held that any dispute over the charge‑sheet should be raised in the appropriate criminal proceeding, not through a writ petition. Consequently, the court declined to entertain the petition further and dismissed it, consigning it to the records.
Issues considered
- Whether the FIR in Crime No.103 of 2024 can be challenged through a criminal miscellaneous writ petition
- Whether the filing of a charge‑sheet by the police precludes further relief in the writ petition

1. List is being revised.
2. This writ petition questions the first information report in connection with Case
Crime No.103 of 2024, under Sections 85, 115(2), 352, 351(3) of BNS and Section
3/4 D.P.Act, however, nobody is present on behalf of the petitioners to press the writ
petition, however, learned AGA for the State is present.
3. Office has submitted following report:
"It is most humbly submitted that as per report submitted by the Legal Cell, O/o Director
General of Police, Uttar Pradesh, chargesheet no.CS-1198/10/24 has been filed.
Therefore, In view of above, the case is put up for order before Hon'ble Court."
4. In view of the fact that charge sheet in the case has already been submitted by the
police after collecting evidence at its level finding petitioners' involvement in the
offence complained of, in our considered view it would be appropriate that the charge
sheet so filed may be questioned in an appropriate proceeding at appropriate forum.
5. Accordingly, we decline to grant any further indulgence in the matter.
