CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crl.M.C. No. 350 0f 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 12-02-2008 ORDER Petitioner who is the 2nd accused in Crime No. 346 of 2007 of Pettah Police Station registered for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 341, 324 and 308 read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. and which is pending investigation seeks to quash Annexure A F.I.R. in the above case or in the alternative to entrust the investigation with a superior police officer. There is a connected case filed by the very same police as Crime No. 345 of 2007 registered for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 425 and 506(ii) read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. at the intance of the petitioner's father who is the de facto complainant therein. Both the above cases are in the crime stage and a final report has not so far been filed before the concerned Magistrate. The prayer of the petitioner to quash the F.I.R. on the ground that he has been falsely implicated by the police is too premature to be considered. The request for entrusting the investigation with a superior police officer also cannot be granted at the stage of investigation. Hence, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move the appropriate forum for appropriate relief at the appropriate stage, this petition is dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani
