MADHAVAN, RESIDING AT PALLOTT, POST AJANUR AJANUR VILLAGE, HOSDURG TALUK, KASARGOD DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.M.SASINDRAN SRI.K.P.HARISH RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT: --------------- STATE REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------- CRL.M.C.NO.578 OF 2009 (D) ----------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of March, 2009 O R D E R This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in Crime No.65/2009 of Hosdurg Police Station. The case is registered under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code and it is on the basis of a complaint addressed to the Chief Minister of the State. The grievance of the petitioner appears to be that after receiving the amount, the work which is undertaken to be done was not done, thereby, resulting in invocation of Section 420 of the IPC. The investigation is in progress, and therefore, I do not want to elaborate and interfere with the investigation. The investigation can continue without causing harassment to the petitioner and if the petitioner surrenders before the court and moves and application for bail, I direct the concerned Magistrate to consider the application CRL.M.C.578/2009 2 sympathetically and pass appropriate orders on the same day itself. This Criminal M.C. is disposed of accordingly. M.N.KRISHNAN JUDGE prp J.B.KOSHY & THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JJ. -------------------------------------------------------- M.F.A.NO.
