Section 482 CrPC | Prima Facie Offence During Ongoing Investigation Bars FIR Quashing : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court reaffirmed that where an FIR discloses a prima facie case of forgery and fraud in educational qualifications, the investigation must proceed without interference - even if the accused claims prior verification. This upholds the principle that courts cannot prematurely shut down probes merely because the accused was appointed through allegedly forged documents, preserving the integrity of criminal investigations under Section 482 CrPC.
