C-482 No. 472 of 2011 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. B.S. Adhikari, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Mr. M.A. Khan, Brief Holder, present for State Heard. By means of this petition, moved under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioner has sought quashing of the proceedings of Criminal Case No. 153 of 2010, State Vs. Bhoodev Singh, relating to offences punishable under Section 193, 196, 198, 420, 466, 467, 468, 471 of I.P.C., police station Didihat, District Pithoragarh, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate, Didihat. Perusal of the papers on record shows that a vehicle was being used for transporting illicit liquor. It is alleged by the prosecution that the petitioner attempted to get released the vehicle on the basis of forged papers. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is the genuine registered owner of the vehicle. In the opinion of this court, whether the petitioner is genuine registered owner of the vehicle, or not, is the question of fact which can be seen by the trial court. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is not inclined to interfere with the trial of the case. In the above circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, the petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is dismissed summarily with the observation that if the petitioner Bhoodev Singh surrenders before the court concerned, his bail shall be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay. The Registry is directed to return the original registration paper, annexed as Annexure –9 with the petition, to the petitioner on his filing the photocopy of the same. (Prafulla C.
