RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for quashing of FIR No. 226 dated 04.10.2006 registered under Sections 420,406 and 506 IPC at Police Station Chainsa Tehsil Ballabgarh District Faridabad. The only ground for quashing which has been agitated is that the entire dispute is of civil nature and thus criminal proceedings cannot continue. The petitioner has relied upon Annexure P-2 i.e. Copy of the civil suit and Annexure P-3 an order passed in the civil suit. According to the State counsel, investigation in this case has already been completed and challan has been prepared and the next date before the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Faridabad is 03.04.2009. Learned counsel has therefore, submits that if the petitioner has any grievance, he can raise the same at the stage of framing of charge. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, I am of the Crl. Misc No. M-43154 of 2007 -2- considered view that since challan has already been presented in this case, the petitioner may raise grievance, if any, before the trial court at an appropriate stage. There is no ground for quashing of the FIR merely, because certain proceedings of civil nature are pending. Dismissed. 23.03.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
