Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/ A-1 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State.

Specific allegations were made against the petitioner/ A-1 in the complaint. This is a matter, which requires investigation by the police. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during course of investigation or trial. I see no ground to interdict the investigation at this stage and quash the first information report.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the investigating agency to proceed with the investigation, however, without arresting the petitioner/A-1, till 19.08.2016, during which period, the petitioner/A1 is at liberty to obtain appropriate orders about his bail or otherwise.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
