It is too early for this Court, in a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C, to consider whether the case against the petitioner is prima facie false and that the FIR is liable to be quashed and investigation is liable to be stayed. In case the Excise Inspector, after investigation, files a final report charge-sheeting the petitioner and in case grounds exist to assail the charge sheet, the Crl.M.C.No.2971/2010 : 2 : petitioner may work out her remedies by moving the appropriate court. This Crl.M.C is disposed of directing the investigating officer not to unnecessarily harass the petitioner during investigation. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
