P. C. when it is for quashing of CR, and it has also been seen that because the petition was filed under 2 Article 227 of Constitution of India, it came to be placed before the Single Bench. We direct the Registrar (Judicial) to ensure that the petitions for quashment are placed before the Division Bench or single Bench based solely on the reliefs prayed for, and if the Petition prays for quashing of CR/FIR, it must be placed before the Division Bench notwithstanding that it is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, and if the Petition prays for quashing of criminal proceedings pending before the court below, it ought to be listed before the Single Bench.” Hence, in view of the aforesaid Judgment passed by this Court in Criminal Writ Petition No. 213 of 2011, dated 18.07.2011, it will be necessary to direct the Registry to place the matter before the Division Bench.
