MUMBAI: Holding that the police appeared to have lodged a first information report "in a casual manner" against a motorcyclist last April in Mumbai, in view of a special drive undertaken to curb wrong side driving, Bombay HC quashed the FIR, subject to Rs 15,000 costs to be paid by the accused to Central Police welfare Fund.
The Jogeshwari police had lodged the FIR for offences of rash and dangerous driving against one Peter Misquitta, 22. He was found by the traffic constable to be riding his two-wheeler dangerously on April 29, 2022 at 10 am in the opposite direction to on-going traffic, the FIR contended.
