Criminal Misc. No. M-13435 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-13435 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 12.08.2011. Manmohan Singh ..Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Ravi Malhotra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. A.G. Punjab, for respondent No.1 – State. Mr. Vipul Aggarwal, Advocate, for respondent No.2. NAWAB SINGH, J. (ORAL) By filing this petition, Manmohan Singh-petitioner seeks quashing of First Information Report No.224 dated July 13th, 2004, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468 and 471/120-B of Indian Penal Code, Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar (Annexure P-1). 2. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 has placed on record copy of the order dated May 24th, 2006 passed by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ranjit Singh in Criminal Misc. No.54717-M of 2004 titled- Manmohan Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and another. In the said petition, Manmohan Singh-petitioner along with five others sought quashing of the same FIR which he has sought by filing the present petition. For facilitation, order dated May 24th, 2006 is reproduced as under:- “ After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he may be permitted to withdraw this petition with liberty to raise all these pleas before the trial Court. Liberty as prayed for is granted. Criminal Misc. No. M-13435 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Dismissed as withdrawn.” Since the petition has already been dismissed as withdrawn on the asking of the petitioner so, this petition appears to have been filed with ulterior motive to take another chance to get the FIR quashed. It is not at all justifiable. Such measure has to be discouraged. In view of above, this petition is dismissed with costs of `10,000/-, which shall be deposited with the High Court Legal Services Authority. 12.08.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
