NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a plea filed by former Uttar Pradesh MLA Abdullah Azam Khan, son of senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, seeking quashing of an FIR against him for allegedly using forged documents to obtain a passport.
A bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prashant Kumar Mishra, upholding the Allahabad High Court’s order that had refused to quash the FIR, said: "We are not inclined to interfere. However, we make it clear that the trial court is at liberty to decide all the issues without being influenced by the order of the High Court."
During the hearing, the Justice Sundresh-headed Bench observed: "Have faith in the trial court. Let it be decided in the trial court. Why should we interfere now when the trial is already over?"
