1 S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 1772/2009 Kishan lal Saini vs. The State of Rajasthan & ors. Date: 29.01.2010 HON'BLE MR. MAHESH BHAGWATI, J. Mr. Devendra Chouhan, for the petitioner. Mr. Praveen Balwada with Mr. Deepak Soni, for the respondents. Mr. Amit Punia, Public Prosecutor for the State. Heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the relevant material available on record. 2. The Hon'ble Apex Court in umpteen cases has consistently held that the power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. are required to be exercised sparingly with circumspection and that too in the rarest of the rare cases. Such powers cannot be invoked in routine to set at naught the criminal proceedings or the order of taking cognizance or quashing the FIR. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also consistently held that the High Court is not required to pass any such order that the investigation of any criminal case should be conducted by a particular agency or by particular officer. The criminal misc. petition filed by the petitioner is totally devoid of force and substance and the same deserves to be dismissed at the threshold. 2 3. In view of above, the criminal misc. petition filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. being bereft of any merit stands dismissed at the threshold. (MAHESH BHAGWATI),J. Mak/- 73
