IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.1141 of 2008 RAVIKANT TEBRIWAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 04/ 14.09.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks quashing of the FIR of Ishipur P.S. Case No. 72 of 2007 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120B of the Penal Code. The submission is that though the petitioner is alleged to be the recipient of what are stated to be fake money orders, but subsequently he has deposited the entire amount of Rs.43,000/- alleged to have been received by him after having knowledge of the fake nature of the money orders. This Court at this stage, finds it difficult to quash the First Information Report merely on the basis of the submission that the petitioner has redeposited the amount of the money orders stated to have been fake and received by him. Who was at fault and what manner matters to be decided in the trial. The offences being non-compoundable, mere deposit of the amount by the petitioner cannot vest in this Court the powers to quash the proceedings. To that extent, this Court finds it difficult to entertain the writ application, which is, accordingly, dismissed. If the petitioner has deposited the entire amount in question, that can certainly be a mitigating factor. DKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
