Respondents ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 5 04-09-2012 The petitioner has been made accused in Daraunda P.S. Case No. 61 of 2010 registered under [STATUTE] . He has also been made accused in Daraunda P.S. Case No. 101 of 2010 registered under [STATUTE] . It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in both the cases. The prayer is for quashing the F.I.Rs. of the aforesaid two cases. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. Patna High Court CR. WJC No.221 of 2011 (5) dt.04-09-2012 2 / 2 2 Learned counsel for the State submits that on receipt of informations relating to cognizable offence, the F.I.Rs. were instituted and on conclusion of investigation, the police found the allegations to be true and, as such, in both the cases charge sheet has been submitted. In my view, the plausible defence of the accused cannot be looked into by this Court. The credibility or otherwise of the defence version has to be assessed by the Court in course of trial. Even otherwise, since the charge sheet has already been submitted, the writ petition has become infructuous. I find no merit in the writ petition. It is dismissed, accordingly.
