It is too early for this Court, in a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C, to consider whether the case against the petitioner is prima facie false and that FIR is liable to be quashed and investigation is liable to be stayed. In case the Police, after investigation, files a final report charge-sheeting the petitioner and in case grounds exist to assail the charge sheet, the petitioner may work out his remedies by moving the appropriate court. This Crl.M.C is disposed of directing the Police not to unnecessarily harass the petitioner during investigation. The petitioner will co-operate with the investigation and will also produce the stage carriage bus Crl.M.C.No.1988/2010 : 2 : bearing registration No.KL-7-AZ-6920 before the investigating officer who shall not seize the vehicle since according to the petitioner the de facto complainant has been given adequate security in the form of Rupees twenty lakhs as furnished by the petitioner in the civil suit O.S.No.170/2009 on the file of Sub Court, Kattapana. Dated this the 12th day of July, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
