Allahabad High Court
RAJEEVversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition challenging the FIR is dismissed as the charge sheet has already been filed.
Summary
The petitioner Rajeev filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition in the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the FIR registered against him. The petition was filed after the investigation had progressed and a charge‑sheet had already been filed by the police. The respondents, the State of Uttar Pradesh and two others, were represented by G.A. The Court examined the office report dated 22‑04‑2026 confirming that the charge‑sheet was filed. Relying on the principle that a writ petition cannot be entertained to quash an FIR once a charge‑sheet is on record, the Court dismissed the petition and consigned it to the record, directing the petitioner to pursue any other remedy available under law. The petition was therefore dismissed.

HON'BLE SIDDHARTHA VARMA, J.
HON'BLE JAI KRISHNA UPADHYAY, J.
1. Case is taken up in the revised call. No one is present for the petitioner. Learned
AGA is present for the State.
2. We have perused the office report dated 22.04.2026 which is quoted as below :-
"As per report submitted by the Legal Cell, O/o Director General of Police, U.P., the
charge sheet has been filed."
3. In view of the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted and since the writ
petition is challenging the FIR, we are of the view that the writ petition be dismissed
and it be consigned to record.
4. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. The petitioner may avail such remedy
as might be available under law.
