The main ground on which the petitioner is seeking quashing of these criminal cases is that respondent No.5, who is impleaded in his personal capacity, bore grudge against him and foisted the cases without there being any evidence whatsoever. Respondent No.5 filed his counter in these three cases, wherein he denied the said allegation. However, having regard to the serious allegations made by the petitioner against respondent No.5, it is appropriate that an Officer other than him should investigate into the above mentioned three crimes. This, however, would not mean that this Court accepted all the allegations made by the petitioner against respondent No.5. To ensure impartiality and to allay the petitioner’s apprehension, this Court felt it appropriate to change the investigating officer. Accordingly, respondent No.3 is directed to appoint another police officer to investigate into the above mentioned three crimes registered against the petitioner. With the above direction, the writ petitions are disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petitions, WPMP Nos.15964, 15987 and 15990 of 2009 in W.P.Nos.12346, 12360 and 12363 of 2009 respectively, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, are disposed of as infructuous.
