1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.665 OF 2008 Kartik Govardhan Shetty ..Petitioner V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.Niranjan Mundargi i/b.Mr.Shounak Mehta, advocate, for petitioner Mrs.A.S.Pai, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & A.P.DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 8TH APRIL, 2008 P.C. . The learned counsel for the petitioner seeks to quash the F.I.R on the ground that he is using the premises for the last 30 years and he is paying dues and taxes to the Government. As such, he has not committed any offence. Whether the petitioner is a trespasser or he has committed any offence is a question which cannot be decided on the basis of assertions or any material placed before this Court. Since the F.I.R discloses an offence, it would not be possible for this Court to 2 quash F.I.R at this stage. For these reasons, Writ Petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that we have not gone into the merits of the case. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (A.P.DESHPANDE, J.)
