(ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C for quashing of FIR No.96 dated 01.04.2011 under Sections 380, 454, 448, 506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Nabha, District Patiala. The allegation in the FIR is that the present petitioner had stolen ` 2500/- from the premises, whereas, the case of the petitioner is that the same has been registered on account of business rivalry. It is further contended that the licence of the outgoing contractor expired on 31.03.2001 and the present petitioner took over on 01.04.2001. As such, the petitioner and his associates were legal, rightful licence holders. They did not have any need to indulge into any such activities against the complainants, who had no more right to run liquor shop as their licence had already expired. The room, which was said to be ransacked by the accused was ownership of Chhota Singh, one of the accused persons. Heard. Crl. Misc. No.M-3124 of 2011 2 It is brought to the notice of the Court that after due investigation, it was found that the allegations are false and the cancellation report has since been submitted before the Illaqa Magistrate.

In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the concerned Magistrate, where the cancellation report is pending, to decide the same in accordance with law preferably within one month from the receipt of this order.
