IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-20930 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 13.7.2011 Ghanshyam Singh Chauhan @ G.S.Chauhan ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Vikas Awasthy, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying for quashing of FIR No.65 dated 27.1.2010 under Sections 406, 409, 419, 420, 465, 466 and 120B IPC, registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Karnal on the ground that the reading of the said FIR does not disclose commission of any offence and that the allegations levelled against the petitioner are false. To substantiate this plea some material has been placed on record. The primary reason that the petitioner gives for advancement of the plea of his innocence is that the incident is of 22.10.2008 whereas the offence is alleged to have been committed prior to that. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be exercised to throttle the investigation. The plea of the petitioner that he was not Crl.Misc.No.M-20930 of 2011 (O&M) -2- involved and the material in support thereof can be looked into by the Investigating Officer, but as per settled principle of law this court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot quash the FIR at the threshold if it discloses commission of any offence. Whatever has been stated in the petition that the petitioner has in support of accusation against him, it also cannot be evaluated in exercise of power under the aforesaid section. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for permission to withdraw the instant petition. Dismissed as withdrawn. 13.7.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
