Crl.Misc. No. M-55061 of 2007 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-55061 of 2007 Date of Decision: September 06 , 2011 Gurmeet Singh ...........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ..........Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Sabina Present: Mr.H.S.Dhandi,Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.G.S.Brar,Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. None for respondent No.2 --- Sabina, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,1973 seeking quashing of FIR No. 416 dated 19.9.2007 (Annexure P1) under Sections 420,467,468,471,191,193,120-B of the Indian Penal Code (for short `IPC') registered at Police Station Kotwali Patiala and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that the present petition deserves to be dismissal. The prosecution case, in brief, is that the petitioner had submitted a false affidavit in the Court to the effect that he was the son of deceased-Bakhtawar Singh. Petitioner had no link with Crl.Misc. No. M-55061 of 2007 2 Bakhtawar Singh but had given an affidavit in the Court with a view to grab the property of Bakhtawar Singh. Bakhtawar Singh had only one daughter, namely, Amar Kaur. The complainant-Avtar Singh was son of Amar Kaur. After the death of Amar Kaur, her estate was entered in the name of the complainant and his brother-Kulwinder Singh. The land in question was acquired and the compensation amount was lying deposited with the Patiala Court. In order to grab the said amount, the petitioner had submitted a false affidavit in the Court. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. The petitioner with an intention to cause loss to the complainant had submitted a false affidavit in the Court claiming himself to be the son of Bakhtawar Singh. At this stage, it would not be just and expedient to quash the criminal proceedings at the very threshold. No ground for interference is made out. Dismissed. ( Sabina ) Judge September 06 , 2011 arya
