CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ............................................... Crl.M.C. No. 3369 of 2010 ................................................. Dated: 17th August, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No. 1047 of 2010 of Thoppumpady Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 3,4,5 & 7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, seeks to quash all further proceedings in the above crime. 2. It is too early for this Court, in a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C, to consider whether the case against the petitioner is prima facie false and that FIR is liable to be quashed and investigation is liable to be stayed. In case the Police, after investigation, files a final report charge- sheeting the petitioner and in case grounds exist to assail the charge sheet , the petitioner may work out his remedies by moving the appropriate court. This Crl.M.C is disposed of directing the Police not to unnecessarily harass the petitioner during investigation. Dated this the 17th day of August, 2010. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE)
