SRI.C.S.MANU PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.K.A.AKBAR THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 04/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ---------------------- Crl.M.C.No.3735 of 2006 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of December 2006 O R D E R The petitioner has come to this court with this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C for quashing of F.I.R registered on the basis of a complaint filed by the second respondent. The learned Public Prosecutor on instructions submits that the investigation is now complete and the police have filed refer report before the learned Magistrate. In the light of this submission which I accept, I find no relevance in this Criminal Miscellaneous Case continuing on file. It deserves to be dismissed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that an item of machinery in the possession of the petitioner has been seized and the same has been released to the complainant by Annexure 10 order. Consequent to the refer report that is filed, the petitioner is entitled to get the machinery restored to his possession, urges the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner can certainly raise his contention before the learned Magistrate as Annexure 10 order reveals only an interim release of the property. Appropriate application can be made by the petitioner before the learned Magistrate, claiming restoration of property seized from his possession. Needless to say, the learned Magistrate must pass appropriate orders on such application expeditiously.
