Uttarakhand High CourtWPCRL/1822/2020 on 4 November, 2020Author:R.C. KhulbeBench:R.C. KhulbeWPCRL No.1822 of 2020\nHon'ble R.C. Khulbe, J.Ms. Krishi Shukla, learned counsel for the\npetitioners.Mr. V.K. Gemini, learned DAG along with\nMr. Lalit Miglani, learned A.G.A. for the State.This writ petition is filed seeking for a writ\nof certiorari to quash the FIR lodged against the\npetitioners, details whereof are given in the prayer\nclause.By virtue of amendment to theCode of\nCriminal Procedure(Uttarakhand Amendment)\n2019 brought about by the State in Act No.20 of\n2020, the affected person(s) is entitled to bail\napprehending his arrest under the provision ofSection 438Cr. P.C. The said Act has come into\nforce w.e.f. 11.08.2020.Accordingly, I do not find it appropriate to\nproceed with the matter, because the writ\npetitioners have an alternate efficacious remedy.However, in order to protect the petitioners'\ninterest, the respondents are directed not to arrest\nthe petitioners for a period of one month from\ntoday, so as to enable them to approach the\nappropriate court for seeking appropriate remedy,\nprovided the petitioners will cooperate with the\ninvestigation.With these observations, the writ petition is\ndisposed of finally.Pending application, if any, stands disposed\nof.(R.C. Khulbe, J.)\n                                  04.11.2020\nBS/SS
