Heard. 2) By means of this writ petition moved under Article 226 of Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought quashing of First Information Report, dated 08.06.2011, registered as Crime No. 145 of 2011, relating to offences punishable under Section 452, 323, 504, 506 I.P.C. Police Station-Gang Nahar, District- Hardwar. 3) Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the impugned First Information Report has been lodged due to the family property dispute between the parties. It is also pleaded that a suit is already pending in respect of property in question. 4) However, since First Information Report relates to the MAARPEET and pleas raised in the writ petition are factual in nature, in the circumstances, this Court instead of interfering 2 with the investigation thinks it just and proper to dispose of the writ petition with the observation that if the petitioners surrender, their bail of the petitioners shall be heard and disposed of expeditiously. 5) Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of summarily with the observation that if the petitioners Ompal, Jagwti and Kuldeep surrender before the court concerned their bail application shall be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay, keeping in mind that the parties are close relatives, and the nature of offence is of simple MAARPEET. (Stay application No.8930 of 2011, also stands disposed of). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) 29.08.2011 JM
