2.

This application under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the petitioner for quashing the First Information Report (for short 'F.I.R.') of Jehanabad P.S. Case No. 402 of 2017 registered inter alia for the offences under Sections 420 and 409 of the Indian Penal Code.

3.

I have perused the F.I.R. as contained in Annexure-1 to the present application. The allegations made therein clearly attract the ingredients of a cognizable offence. To hold investigation into a cognizable offence is statutory duty of the police. Since a cognizable offence has been reported to the police, I see no

4. In that view of the matter, I see no merit in this application. Accordingly, the application is dismissed. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J) Md.S./-Sanjeev AFR/NAFR NAFR CAV DATE N.A.
