A group of petitioners, aggrieved by the recruitment process of the School Service Commission, staged a peaceful protest on 05.08.2021 near Mayukh Bhawan/Bikash Bhawan, Salt Lake, and were arrested and named in Bidhannagar North Police Station Case No. 169 of 2021 for alleged violations of Sections 143, 341, 269, 270, and 188 of the IPC and Section 51 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, including breach of COVID protocols and Section 144 CrPC orders. The petitioners filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution before the Calcutta High Court seeking expungement of their names from the FIR and quashing of the investigation, contending that they were exercising their fundamental rights under Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(b) and that the FIR did not disclose any prima facie offence. The Court extensively reviewed the settled legal principles on quashing of FIRs under Article 226 and Section 482 CrPC, relying on landmark decisions including State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal, Neeharika Infrastructure v. State of Maharashtra, and analogous Madras High Court rulings. The judgment text as provided concludes with the Court proceeding to examine the FIR allegations in light of these principles, but the final operative order/outcome is not included in the text supplied.
