IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-11848 of 2008 Date of decision: 8.12.2009. Kashmir Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. S.S.Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Arshvinder Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for respondent-State. Mr. S.S.Rangi, Advocate and Mr. Jagmohan Singh, Advocate for respondent no.2. S. D. ANAND, J. It is apparent from the FIR itself that only allegation qua petitioner Kashmir Singh is that he persuaded the first informant to lodge the impugned FIR. Learned State Counsel and also learned counsel for respondent no.2 were called upon to indicate what incriminating evidence, if any, had been collected by the Investigating Agency to prove that it was the petitioner who secured the alleged medical certification qua the mental state of Zermal Singh. The query drew a blank. They had to concede that it is only the statement of the complainant which, too, is not corroborated by any further evidence. That self-serving statement of the complainant, in the absence of any material whatsoever to support it, cannot form the basis of continuance of the impugned prosecution against the petitioner. The petition shall stand allowed. The impugned FIR No.189 dated 8.9.2007 under Sections 420, 467, 468, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station, Fatehgarh Sahib qua the petitioner shall stand quashed.
