Crl. Misc No. M-21888 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-21888 of 2009 Date of decision : 11.08.2009 Raman Kumari @ Rama ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Jasmeer S. Verka, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for quashing the FIR No. 53 dated 16.03.2008 registered under Sections 420, 120-B IPC at police station City Gurdaspur alongwith all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that allegations against the petitioner are absolutely false. Certain civil proceedings regarding the matter are already pending and no offence as alleged is made out. Thus, FIR deserves to be quashed. The allegations in the FIR are that the petitioner committed a fraud to the tune of Rs. 5,15,000/- with the complainants. The petitioner has impugned the FIR on the basis of certain factual averments made in the petition. It is, however, not possible for this Court to decide the same in exercise of inherent jurisdiction. The same can be decided only after the evidence is led before the trial court. I find no force in contention of the counsel for the petitioner Crl. Misc No. M-21888 of 2009 2 that allegation in the FIR shows that no offence is made out. A perusal of the FIR shows that there are clear cut allegations against the petitioner. It cannot be said at this stage that the same are false. As regards the pendency of civil proceedings, petitioner will be at liberty to raise her pleas in that regard before the trial court at an appropriate stage. I thus find no merit in the petition. The same is hereby dismissed. 13.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
