S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No.986/2010 Harphool Chandolia Vs. State of Raj. Dated : 24.05.2010 HON'BLE MR. MAHESH BHAGWATI,J. Mr. NK Singhal, for the petitioner. Mr. Paresh Choudhary, PP for the State. *** Heard learned counsel for the parties. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and carefully perused the contents of FIR No.241/2004, it is noticed that this FIR came to be lodged against the petitioner Harphool Chandolia S/o Shri Bhagwan Sahai for the offence under Sections 13(1)(e) read with Section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988. It has consistently been held by the Hon'ble Apex Court in plethora of cases that the powers under Section 482 of Cr.P.C should be exercised sparingly in rarest of the rare cases and that too, with circumspection and care. The FIR can be quashed only when the FIR do not disclose the commission of any cognizable offence. It is not the case at hand. Having perused the contents of FIR, it is found that the facts as enumerated in the FIR do disclose the cognizable offence punishable under Sections 13(1)(e) read with Section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act. -2- The petition is devoid of any substance and has got no legs to stand, which deserves to be dismissed at the threshold and the same stands dismissed accordingly.
