C-482 No. 962 of 2009 With Amendment App. 1326 / 09 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Pratiroop Pandey, Advocate present for the petitioner. Mr. Prabhakar Joshi, Brief Holder present for the respondent State. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this petition, moved under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioner has sought quashing of order dated 31.07.1997, passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Kashipur, after taking cognizance in the charge sheet dated 09.07.1997, which is registered as Crime Case No. 1415 of 2008; State Vs. Deen Dayal Bhullar, relating to offences punishable under Section 147, 332, 353, 336, 427, 171-C of I.P.C., and one punishable under Section 135(2) and 136(2) of Representation of People Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner drew attention of this Court to the report made by the Investigating Officer under Section 173(3) of Cr.P.C. on 15.09.1997, seeking permission to further investigate the crime. It is contended that the Investigating Officer in the year 1998, submitted the report that as against the petitioner no case is made out, and requested that name of the petitioner be deleted from the charge sheet. The trial is pending since 1997. The power given under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, only permits the Investigating Officer to further investigate the crime, but it nowhere empowers the Investigating Officer to withdraw the charge sheet which has already been submitted against a particular accused, and on which the Magistrate has taken cognizance, and trial has commenced. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record, this Court does not find any sufficient reason to interfere with the impugned order. The petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is dismissed summarily. (Amendment Application No. 1326 of 2009 also stands dismissed). (P.C. P., J.) 17.12.2009 HN
