1 322011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY vgm CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITON NO. 3220 OF 2011 Nadeem Hanif Kan & Ors. ...Petitioners V/s. State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents Mr. O.P. Dubey for the Petitioners Mrs. A.S Pai, A.P.P., for Respondent No. 1 CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR AND R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATE: DECEMBER 7, 2011 P.C.:- The only argument pressed before this Court for quashing of C.R. No. 196 of 2011 dated 20th September, 2011 registered with Nirmal Nagar Police Station, Mumbai, is that the same is counterblast to the F.I.R. registered by the petitioners against the private respondent on the same date for offence punishable under Sections 324, 507 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. The learned A.P.P. submits that the investigation of both the F.I.Rs., i.e., the F.I.R. registered at the instance of the petitioners, 2 322011 being F.I.R. No. 195 of 2011, against the private respondent, and F.I.R. No. 196 of 2011 registered at the instance of the private respondent against the petitioners, is under progress, and, during the investigation, the Investigating Officer would examine the plea of the petitioners that the subsequent F.I.R., No. 196 of 2011, is after-thought and is counterblast to the first F.I.R., No. 195 of 2011, or otherwise. That would be dependent on the material that will be collected during the investigation. 3. In this view of the matter, the petitioners do not wish to pursue this petition, with liberty to take recourse to other appropriate remedies as may be permissible in law. All questions raised by the petitioners in this petition, as well as in the future proceedings, if any, are left open to be considered on their own merits, in accordance with law. 4. This petition is disposed of accordingly. R.G. KETKAR, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
