IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. 5367-M of 2008 Date of decision : February 29, 2008 Sukhwinder Singh Padda and another .....Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. M.S. Jandiala, Advocate for the petitioners. RAJESH BINDAL J. The prayer made in this petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure ( for short “the Code”) is for quashing of FIR No. 301 dated July 26, 2007 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Model Town, Panipat. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners had only signed the power of attorney as a witness on the basis of which, the other co-accused had got some gift deed executed of the land belonging to the complainant. Accordingly, they had no role to play as they are not beneficiary of any land in any manner. Accordingly, the FIR registered against them deserves to be quashed. However, this Court does not find any justification to scuttle the investigation of the case and also consequently quashing of FIR at this preliminary stage. The matter is still to be considered by the Court below. The facts or the material sought to be relied upon by the petitioners for seeking quashing of the FIR is the matter of evidence, which has to be considered and appreciated by the Court below at the time of trial of the case. Accordingly, I do not find any justification to quash the FIR in question. The petition is dismissed. February 29, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
