P.C. 1. By this Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 of Cr.P.C., it is prayed that the proceedings pending before the Court of Special Judge(under SC/ST Act) for Greater Mumbai at Mumbai in SC/ST Special Case No.29 of 2009 in LAC No.153 of 2009 and the draft charges submitted by the Respondent No.5 implicating the Petitioner be quashed and set aside. It is noticed from the reply filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police that the offence has been investigated and on the basis of material collected, the chargesheet has also been filed against the Petitioner. Going by the FIR which is the subject matter of challenge in this petition, we have no 2 wp568.10.sxw hesitation in taking the view that it discloses case of cognisable offence against the Petitioner. The argument of the Petitioner that he has been falsely implicated, in view of the material now collected during the investigation and filed alongwith chargesheet cannot be countenanced. 2. Considering the above, we dispose of this Petition with liberty to the Petitioner to pursue remedy of discharge application, if so advised. That will have to be decided on its own merits in accordance with law, irrespective of the dismissal of this Petition. Ordered accordingly. (U.D.SALVI, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
