From the above-quoted narration of the First Information Report, it is apparent that petitioner Mohd. Arsi is involved neck deep in the illegal activities of the racket operating in the State of Uttaranchal adversely affecting the revenue of the State by evading trade tax. 7. In our opinion, no case, warranting quashing of the First Information Report and the case registered against petitioner Mohd. Arsi, is made out. 8. The writ petition, therefore, is liable to be dismissed and is, hereby, dismissed summarily. 9. Consequently, CLMA No. 7513 of 2006 also stands dismissed. (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) (Rajeev Gupta, C.
