IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Writ Petition No. 508 of 2009 Pankaj Kumar Singh & another. ……… Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand & others. ……… Respondents Mr. Ramji Srivastava, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Nandan Arya, Asst. Government Advocate for respondents Nos. 1 & 2. Ms. Prabha Noliyal, Advocate for respondent No. 3. Hon’ble V.K. Gupta, C.J. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on going through the F.I.R. in question, I am fully and absolutely convinced that the subject matter of the F.I.R. relates to a pure civil transaction between the petitioners and respondent No. 3 and that no criminal offence, even remotely, can be said to have been committed by the petitioners insofar as the contents of the F.I.R. suggest. On this ground alone, the F.I.R. in question is quashed with all the consequences. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. (V.K. Gupta, C.J.) 11.06.2009 G
