CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.2702 of 2010 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of July, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.792 of 2010 of Fort Kochi Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 420 of I.P.C., seeks to quash Annexure-I F.I.R. & Annexure-II F.I.S. and all further proceedings. 2. 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 F.I.R. 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. Dated this the 16th day of July, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
