Mr.Mehardeep Singh, AAG, Punjab. *** KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR No.13 dated 5.2.2000 registered at Police Station Makhu under Section 409 IPC. Mr.Mehardeep Singh, counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Gurbachan Singh has stated that 12 witnesses were cited by the prosecution. 10 witnesses have been examined. Trial is not only in progress but is at the fag end. Once the trial has progressed, it has to culminate into conviction or acquittal. Judicial propriety demands that powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. be not exercised. Hence, there is no merit in the present petition and the same is dismissed.
