IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-25911 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 26.8.2011 Jai Parkash and another ....Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Jarnail S.Saneta, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition for quashing of FIR No.50 dated 30.7.2011 registered at P.S.Naggal District Ambala under Sections 420/406/506 IPC on the ground that the allegations against the petitioners are false. The facts reveal that there are allegations of human trafficking against the petitioners. It has also been projected before this Court that complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act are pending before the Courts of competent jurisdiction. It has also been stated that similar complaint was filed earlier against three persons and now the instant FIR has been lodged on the same allegations. It is contended that from the totality of these facts it should be inferred that the allegations against the petitioners are false. Crl.Misc.No.M-25911 of 2011 (O&M) -2- On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that the prayer of the petitioners under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be granted. It is settled proposition of law that the investigation should not be throttled at the very threshold. The plea of falsity of allegations cannot be answered under Section 482 of the Code in the absence of any mechanism with this Court to comment upon such allegations. In view of the aforesaid, the FIR is not to be quashed when the investigation is in progress unless it seems to be an abuse of the process of law. The fact whether the petitioners are embroiled in some controversy regarding non-payment of the amount and the purpose for which said amount was given to the petitioners or their associates is yet to be determined on the basis of investigation. Hence to accept the plea of the petitioners regarding the allegations being false would amount to scuttling the entire process affecting even the proceedings which are pending before the courts. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 26.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
