CRM No. M-2390 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-2390 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 30.01.2009 Gurdeep Ram ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Arun Takhi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition for quashing of FIR No.165 dated 31st March, 2006, under Sections 420, 406, 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalandhar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that allegations levelled in the FIR are totally false and amount to abuse of process of law. He has also contended that ingredients of the offences alleged in the FIR are totally missing and thus the FIR deserves to be quashed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It is clear from the averments made in the petition that challan in this case has already been presented in the competent court of jurisdiction. It is also clear that as it was not possible to secure the presence of the accused by ordinary process, proclamation was issued CRM No. M-2390 of 2009 2 on 11th September, 2007. Since challan has already been presented in this case, the petitioner can raise all his pleas before the said court at an appropriate stage. I am, therefore, of the considered view that there is no ground for quashing of FIR at this stage under inherent jurisdiction of this Court. This apart, it appears that the petitioner approached this court earlier by way of Crl. Misc. No. M-25758 of 2008, which was dismissed as withdrawn. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to make out any ground for quashing the FIR in question. This petition is thus dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE January 30, 2009 'rajpal'
