IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 1019 of 2009 Anil Sharma. …..…Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. …….Respondents. Hon’ble Alok Singh, J. Mr. Karan Anand, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Adhikari, learned AGA for the State of Uttarakhand/ respondent nos. 1 and 2. Heard. This writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ in the nature of Certiorari quashing the First Information Report dated 31.07.2009 case crime no. 292 of 2009 under section 386 IPC, Police Station – Kotwali Ranipur, District – Haridwar. The scope of Article 226 of the Constitution of India or scope of Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure is limited. While exercising powers in either of the provisions, court is not supposed to enter into the question of fact or appreciation of evidence. The only thing which is required to be seen by the Court is as to whether contents of the First Information Report make out any prima facie case or not. I have perused the First Information Report. From the perusal of the First Information Report prima facie case is made out against the petitioner. In my view investigation is required in the matter in view of serious allegation made in the First Information Report. 2 In view of this I do not find any reason to invoke jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Writ petition is dismissed summarily. (Alok Singh, J.) 25.11.2009 SKS
