The Rajasthan High Court has quashed the FIR lodged against Hanumangarh MLA Ganeshraj Bansal in a 23‑year‑old alleged fake land case, granting him judicial relief.
The Rajasthan High Court in Jaipur has dismissed the FIR filed against Hanumangarh MLA Ganeshraj Bansal in a case that dates back 23 years, effectively ending the long‑standing legal dispute. The court found that the evidence presented was insufficient to sustain the charges of a fake land lease. As a result, the FIR has been struck off and Bansal is cleared of the allegations.
The case, which had lingered in the courts for more than two decades, involved accusations of forging a land lease document. Bansal, a member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, had previously sought relief from the lower courts but had not secured a definitive ruling.
By annulling the FIR, the High Court has removed a significant legal hurdle for Bansal, allowing him to focus on his legislative duties without the shadow of pending criminal proceedings. The decision is expected to influence the political landscape in the Hanumangarh region, where the MLA has a substantial support base.
The ruling also underscores the importance of evidence in prolonged legal battles, highlighting the judiciary’s willingness to revisit cases when new information or lack of proof emerges.
