IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA Cr. MMO. No. 110 of 2009. Date of Decision:29.6.2011. _______________________________________________ Kalyaniji Mishra. ….Petitioner. Versus. State of H.P. and others. ….Respondents. Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dev Darshan Sud, Judge. Whether approved for reporting1?. No. For the appellant: :Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate. For Respondent-1 to 3. :Mr. P.K.Sharma, Addl. Advocate General with Ms. Shubh Mahajan, Dy. Advocate General. For Respondent-4. Mr.Amit Singh Chandel, Advocate. Dev Darshan Sud, J.(Oral). The petitioner prays for quashing of F.I.R. No. 82 of 2009 registered with Police Station, Nurpur under Section 66 of Information and Technology Act and 120-A, 415, 416, 420, 378, 398, 463 and 464 I.P.C. The grounds urged in this petition are that prima facie no offence has been made out against the petitioner and that he wants to settle the matter with respondent No.4 to the extent of an amount of Rs.1,48,000/-. Learned counsel submits that a bare reading of the F.I.R. does not disclose any offence and that he is ready to return the Whether reporters of the Local papers are allowed to see the judgment.yes. 2 amount of Rs.1,48,000/-. The petitioner seeks quashing of the entire proceedings against him. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and gone through the reply filed by the State. At this stage, I am not inclined to go through the evidence on record with a fine tooth comb. The law well settled under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is that where there is no offence is disclosed on the bare reading of the first information report and the investigation conducted subsequent thereto, the initiation of criminal proceedings can be quashed. However, in the present case, what this Court is called upon to do is to go through the evidence in all its finer nuances and in these circumstances this exercise cannot be taken at this stage. If at the time of framing of charge, there is insufficient material on the record, then it is but obvious that the petitioner will not be prosecuted. So far as the question of settling the matter between the parties is concerned, if the offences are compoundable, it will be open to the petitioner to move the learned trial Court. The petition is dismissed. (Dev Darshan Sud), Judge. June 29,2011.(R)
