Goyal, Advocate, present for the respondent no.2 Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard. By means of this petition, moved u/s 482 of Cr.P.C., the petitioners have sought quashing of proceedings of criminal case no.8054 of 2010, State vs. Pradeep Kumar and others, relating to offences punishable under section 147, 323, 504 of IPC, 2 pending in the court of First Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun. It appears that there are cross versions of the incident. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the impugned criminal case is counter blast to the first information report lodged by the petitioner no.1 against the respondent no.2 and others relating to offences punishable under section 307, 392, 323, 504 IPC at P.S. Doiwala. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record and affidavits filed by the parties, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial of the case. It is for the trial court to decide the factual pleas of innocence after recording evidence of the parties in the cases pending before the trial court. Therefore, without expressing any opinion as to final merits of the case, the petition u/s 482 of Cr.P.C. is dismissed. (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) 15.12 11 .20 Rajni
