Crl. Misc. No.M-6351 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-6351 of 2009 (O&M) Decided on : 7-12-2009 Bhagwan Dass & others .... Petitioners VERSUS State of Haryana & others .... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER. Present:- Mr. Neeraj Gaur, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. P.M. Anand, Addl. A.G., Haryana. Mr. Sanjiv Bansal, Advocate. MAHESH GROVER, J (Oral). Crl. Misc. No.11713 of 2009 is allowed. This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of the F.I.R. No.59 dated 26.2.2009 under Sections 420/ 467/ 468/ 471/ 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Nuh, Distt. Mewat. The petitioners are alleged to have procured the false death certificate in order to grab the property of the complainant. Civil suit has also been filed qua the same property. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the allegations against the petitioners even taken to be correct, the same do not constitute any offence. Crl. Misc. No.M-6351 of 2009 -2- After hearing counsel for the parties and perusing the material on record, I am of the opinion that the instant F.I.R. cannot be quashed as the allegations reveal commission of some offence and it is settled principle of law that the F.I.R. cannot be quashed at the initial stage of the investigation. Since the investigation of F.I.R. is yet to be concluded, I am also of the considered opinion that merely because a civil suit has been filed, the F.I.R. proceedings cannot be quashed as it is settled position of law that the criminal and civil proceedings can co-exist. Therefore, no ground for quashing the F.I.R. is made out. Dismissed. 7th December, 2009. (MAHESH GROVER) Monika JUDGE
