CRM No.M-17245 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision:-23.9.2010 Rajender Pal son of Om Parkash ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present:- Mr.Naresh Kumar Sanghi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Vikas Malik, A.A.G. Haryana. Mr.Gaurav Mohunta, Advocate for respondent No.2. M ehinder S ingh S ullar , J . (Oral) Petitioner Rajinder Pal son of Om Parkash, has directed the present petition for quashing the FIR bearing No.715 dated 31.8.2006 on accusation of having committed the offences punishable under sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 505 IPC registered by the police of Police Station City Sirsa, the impugned charges and order (Annexures P1 and 2) respectively, invoking the provisions of section 482 Cr.PC. 2. At the very outset, the learned State counsel has contended that as the charges in this case have already been framed by the trial Magistrate, therefore, the FIR cannot be quashed, in view of law laid down by Hon'ble Apex Court in case Minakshi Bala v. Sudhir Kumar 1994 (3) RCR (Criminal) 123. 3. Faced with this situation, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought to urge that this petition may be treated as petition for quashing the order of framing charges dated 31.3.2009. This submission cannot possibly be accepted. The perusal of the record would reveal that the trial Magistrate has framed charges against the accused, by virtue of impugned order (Annexure P2). In that CRM No.M-17245 of 2009 2 eventuality, the petitioner has an alternative remedy to file the revision petition before the Court of Session. It is now well settled proposition of law that if the alternative remedy is available, then the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under section 482 Cr.PC cannot legally be invoked. 4. In the light of the aforesaid reasons, the instant petition is not maintainable and is hereby dismissed as such in the obtaining circumstances of the case. 23.9.2010 (Mehinder Singh Sullar) AS Judge
