IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.34126 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 14, 2011 Jasbir Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr.G.C.Rattan, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has approached this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.74 dated 1.8.2011 registered under Sections 477A and 420 IPC at Police Station Sohana, District Mohali. The prayer is that in view of the enquiry report dated 20.11.2009 held by Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Chamkaur Sahib, no case is made out against the petitioner, who has been exonerated from the alleged charge of missing of the page of Intkal Register. The criminal case is registered much after enquiry. What effect that enquiry will have on the FIR is to be seen by the investigating agency. If the petitioner has been exonerated and he cannot be proceeded against for a criminal charge on this basis in view of any instructions relied upon by the petitioner, he will have to plead before the Investigating Officer. It will not be appropriate to scuttle the investigation at this initial stage, once the FIR has been registered much after the enquiry. Not a fit case for interference under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Dismissed. At this stage, counsel seeks permission to withdraw this petition. Dismissed as withdrawn. November 14, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
