CORAM; BILAL NAZKI and CORAM; BILAL NAZKI and CORAM; BILAL NAZKI and A.P. DESHPANDE, JJ. A.P. DESHPANDE, JJ. A.P. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATED; 01ST APRIL, 2008 DATED; 01ST APRIL, 2008 DATED; 01ST APRIL, 2008 P.C.; P.C.; P.C.; 1. Heard one of the petitioners. 2. This petition has been filed seeking quashing of an FIR filed by the police after the matter was referred by the Magistrate. The FIR being MECR No.1/07, the learned APP submits that the investigation has already been completed and the charge sheet has been filed before the Magistrate under sections 391, 392, 406 and 420 of IPC. Since the petitioners have a fair chance to oppose the framing of charge by the Magistrate and Magistrate will be in a better position to appreciate the contentions of the petitioner, because the charge sheet will be available with him along with the statements of witnesses recorded by the police. Therefore, we do not think that at this stage it will be appropriate for this court to interfere with the matter. However the Magistrate is directed to take a decision on framing of charge after hearing the petitioner. Writ Petition is accordingly, dismissed. (BILAL NAZKI J.) (BILAL NAZKI J.) (BILAL NAZKI J.)
