(ORAL) The petition under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 has been filed quashing the FIR no.72 dated 18.06.2025 registered under Section 173 and 351(2) BNS (Section 109 BNS added later on) at Police Station Punjab Agriculture University, District Police Commissionerate Ludhiana, and all subsequent proceedings.

Learned counsel contended that the FIR was registered on false allegations that the petitioner alongwith five other unknown persons tried to attack the complainant and gave him beatings, and also threatened to kill him as well as his wife. He further contended that the complainant's supplementary statement was recorded in which earlier version was changed and it was alleged that the petitioner had attacked and threatened to kill him as well as his wife, who was seven months' pregnant. She was also given kick blows in her abdomen due to which she had to be admitted in hospital. The petitioner inflicted injuries on the complainant's wife with an intention to kill the baby she PUSHPINDER SAINI 2025.09.01 10:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M-46399-2025 -2was carrying. Learned counsel also submitted that the petitioner had been called by the Investigating Officer and pressurized her to join the ruling party. 3.

Learned State counsel, however, contends that the matter is under investigation and final report has not been prepared as yet. 4.

After considering the submissions, this Court finds no ground to entertain the petition at this stage, as investigation of the case is underway. Merely because the complainant changed his version in a supplementary statement, is no ground to quash the FIR. Besides, learned counsel has not been able to indicate any material on record to even prima facie establish that the petitioner has been pressurised by the Investigating Officer to join the ruling party.

Dismissed.
