Leamed counsel appearing forthe p^titionersalso submits that tet the investigafion be made at this stage. If a prima facie case is made out for investigation, the High Court should keep tbe hands-off from interfering witti FtR. Even otherwise, FIR can be quashed only in excepUonal cases where no prima fec» case is made out, on perusalofFIR. 3) tn view of the Toregoing, this petttion deserves to be dismissed and fe accordingly dismissed at the motionstage itself. However, tt is made clear that tet the investigaUon be done after having consktored atl the aspecls of the matter. —— Sd/- Satish K. Agnihotri Judge f
