Crl.M. No. M-19639 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M. No. M-19639 of 2008 Date of decision : 25.3.2009. ... Manjit Singh and another ................ Petitioners vs. State of Punjab and another .................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. R.S. Athwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Sh. K.S. Pannu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. ... K.C. Puri, J. (Oral) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 45 dated 6.3.2008 under sections 364/386/420/120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Model Town, District Hoshiarpur. The only ground taken in the petition for quashing the FIR is that on the same set of allegations, FIR No. 20 dated 5.3.2008 under Sections 364, 384, 323, 342, 506, 148, 149 IPC has been registered at Police Station Bilga. In this case, the concerned SSP was directed to file an affidavit whether the allegations in both the FIRs are the same. Sh. Sukhchain Singh Gill, SSP, Hoshiarpur, has filed his Crl.M. No. M-19639 of 2008 -2- affidavit, in which it is stated that after going through the contents of both the FIRs, the deponent found that all allegations in both these FIRs are same, except in FIR No. 45 dated 6.3.2008 regarding the fact that accused was forcibly taken the complainant to Phagwara. The State counsel is fair enough to concede that in view of authority reported as T.T. Antony vs. State of Kerala 2001 (3) RCR (Criminal) 436, second FIR cannot be adjudicated on the same set of allegations. So, in these circumstances, FIR No. 45 dated 6.3.2008 under sections 364/386/420/120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Model Town, District Hoshiarpur, stands quashed. Further proceedings in pursuant to that FIR also stand quashed. ( K.C. Puri ) 25.3.2009. Judge Chugh
