During the hearing of the case, Naveen told the court that he was not kidnapped and the purpose of lodging the FIR was to overthrow

Krishan in a no-confidence motion brought against him. Amit Khatkar, the counsel for the petitioner, argued that Duggal, while contesting from the Ratia constitu ency, had sought the petitioner’s support in the assembly polls. When refused, Duggal allegedly threatened him to face dire consequences, including the loss of panchay at samiti chairman’s post. After the petitioner supported another candidate, hostility grew, worsened by Duggal’s defeat. Duggal, vowing revenge, allegedly orchestrated a no-confidence motion against the petitioner using her political influence.

In the hearing, the counsel for Naveen Kumar, who was allegedly kidnapped, informed the court that Naveen had clarified the FIR was fabricated.

The HC was of the view that special circumstances warranted interim relief.

“Ordinarily, this court would not grant any interim relief for restraining the police from taking any coercive measures in a petition for quashing of the FIR, but in extreme circumstances where the petitioner has been able to show those special circumstances, this court would always interfere in the interest of justice and to prevent any abuse of the process of law.
