1 cri4791.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4791 OF 2010 Deepa W/o Vitthal Gite and others ..APPLICANTS -VERSUS- The State of Maharashtra and another. ..RESPONDENTS ......... Mr. N.D. Kendre, advocate for the applicants. Mr. B.J. Sonawane, A.P.P. for respondent/State. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 7 th December, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The application is for quashing of the criminal proceedings of S.T.C.C. No. 518/2006. 2. Heard learned Advocate for the applicant. 3. Perusal of the F.I.R. and the police statements of witnesses make out a prima facie case to show that on 25th July, 2005, the informant was intercepted on the road by the applicants. It appears that the informant is Headmistress and also the Director of the Educational Institution. There was dispute regarding taking away of the students to the school run by the informant. The 2 cri4791.10 informant runs Rani Laxmibai Prathamik Vidhyamandir at New Bhagya Nagar, Latur locality. The statements of Sachin Bhosale, Suresh Shelke and Manoj Akade etc prima facie corroborate the version of the informant. 4. It is argued that the criminal proceedings are outcome of ill intention and to disrepute the applicants. It is contended that though the applicants did not obstruct the informant and there was no incident of assault as such, yet the false F.I.R. is lodged. At this juncture, without there being trial, it is difficult to say that the criminal case is actuated with malice and that the applicants are framed in the false case. No substantial ground is made out to entertain the application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Hence, the application is dismissed. (V.R.KINGAONKAR) JUDGE gas/cri4791.10
