HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 6077 of 2026 Adarsh Pandey .....Petitioner(s) Versus State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Home Lko. And 3 Others .....Respondent(s) Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Mohemmed Amir Naqvi, Amjad Siddiqui Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Court No. - 2 HON'BLE PANKAJ BHATIA, J. HON'BLE AMITABH KUMAR RAI, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.G.A. for the State. The present writ petition has been filed seeking quashing of the impugned F.I.R. bearing Case Crime No. 0933 of 2025, under Sections 340(2), 336(3), 338, 318(4) and 319(2) of B.N.S., 2023, Police Station Akbarpur, District Ambedkar Nagar. In the F.I.R., it is alleged that the informant had purchased the land in question on 24.07.2024 from Ashok Kumar and Ajay Kumar and the mutation was also done subsequently. When the informant reached the spot to raise a boundary wall, the persons owning land adjacent to the said land did not permit him to do so. Thereafter, it was allegedly discovered that the sale deed had been executed by a person who was not the owner of the land. No specific allegations have been levelled against the petitioner, though he has been named in the F.I.R. Prima facie, no role has been attributed to the petitioner in the commission of the alleged offence. The petitioner is neither the owner nor the seller of the land in question. The matter, therefore, requires consideration.
Issue notice to respondent no.4. Steps be taken to serve respondent no.4 within two weeks. Learned A.G.A. shall file his reply within a period of four weeks. Rejoinder affidavit, if any, may be filed within two weeks thereafter. CRLP No. 6077 of 2026 2 List this case after six weeks. Until further orders, no coercive action shall be taken against the petitioner in pursuance of the impugned F.I.R., subject to the petitioner cooperating with the investigation.
