CLMA 7917/2009 with WPCRL 783/2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, ACJ Heard Sri H.C. Pande, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.G.A. and perused the record. The petitioner has filed this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issue of a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the FIR/Divisional Case No. 1/2009-10, U/Ss 9/51 Wild Life Protection Act and 26, 41, 42 and 63 of Indian Forest Act and Section 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980 dated 1-9-2009 lodged by respondent No.3, as well as a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents not to arrest the petitioner till the pendency of the presence writ. In the F.I.R. lodged against the petitioner specific allegations for commission of the crime have been made. The allegations made in the F.I.R. are serious in nature. I am not supposed to embark upon an enquiry about the reliability of the allegations made in the FIR at this stage. The evidence is still to come and any order to be passed by this court would amount to pretrial. I do not find any substance in this petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed in limine. However, if the petitioner appears before the trial court in order to obtain his bail, then the learned Magistrate shall dispose of his bail application expeditiously without causing any unreasonable delay. Dated: 10-9-2009 (B.C. Kandpal, ACJ) ISB
