(Oral) : Gurmit Singh @ Gurmit Horst has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) for quashing FIR No.59 dated 25.07.2009 under Sections 406, 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station, Behram, District Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (Annexure P-1), lodged by the petitioner's wife Navneet Kaur – respondent no. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Learned counsel for the petitioner concedes that the petitioner Crl. Misc. No. M-365 of 2010 2 has been declared Proclaimed Offender in the case. The petitioner has not yet subjected himself to the process of law. The instant petition has also been filed by the petitioner through his attorney Angrej Singh and not himself. The petitioner is in Germany. Keeping in view the aforesaid, I am not inclined to exercise power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of the impugned FIR. Dismissed. July 27, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
