Respondents --- Shri R.S.Jaisinghani i/by Ms. Jacinta D Silva for the Applicant. ’ Shri Rajesh More, APP for the Respondent Nos. 1 and 5. shri Suraj Dessai Almeida i/by M/s. S.J.Bhyambhlani & Co. for the Respondent No.6. --- CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATE : 21ST MARCH, 2011 P.C. : 1 Heard the learned counsel for the parties This is an application under section 482 to quash the proceedings C.R.No. 147 of 2009 registered at the Marine Drive Police Station on the report lodged by the respondent no.6. The respondent no.6 had filed a report with the police that the present applicant had submitted annual reports in the year ending with 31st March, 2004, making a false and forged claim that he was having 100% share in the company. The investigation in that case is still going on. The learned APP on instructions makes a statement that hand writing expert s report is still awaited. Therefore, the ’ prosecution is unable to make any statement about the forgery. It appears that the present applicant/petitioner has also filed a company petition no. 115 of 2008, seeking certain declarations including that he continues to be the Managing director of the Inter Equipments (India) Private Limited. It appears that there is 2 dispute about the control over that company. As per far as criminal case is concerned, only question is whether the present applicant/petitioner had filed a forged annual reports of the company, claiming transfer of 100% share to him. In view of the fact that the investigation is still in progress, I am not inclined to interfere at this stage. 2 Therefore, the application stands rejected. However, the concerned police officer is hereby directed to complete investigation as early as possible and preferably within two months and file a report before the concerned court. (J. H.
