RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. H.N.S. Gill, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner Darshan Singh, who has been declared proclaimed offender, has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No. 40 dated 16.3.1998, registered at Police Station Kapurthala, under Sections 420, 468, 471, 120-B IPC and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Earlier also, the petitioner filed similar petition i.e. Crl. Misc. No. 33242-M of 2004 and the same was dismissed on 3.9.2004. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the FIR. Counsel for the petitioner contends that now after the dismissal of the earlier petition, a civil suit between the parties has been decided, therefore, the matter requires re-consideration. After hearing counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any ground to quash the aforesaid FIR at this belated stage on the aforesaid ground. Dismissed. Crl. Misc. No. 52990-M of 2006 -2- However, it will be open for the petitioner to take the plea regarding finding recorded by the civil court, during the trial in the FIR case.
