C482 No. 233 of 2010 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri Udyog Shukla, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Shri Prabhakar Joshi, Brief Holder, present for respondents. Heard. By means of this petition, moved under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioner has sought quashing of the proceedings of criminal case No. 122 of 2010, Divisional Forest Officer Vs. Harjeet Singh alias Khairati, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate, Ram Nagar, relating to offences punishable under Sections 26, 41, 42 of Indian Forest Act, 1927. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent. He further submitted that the petitioner was not arrested at the spot. It is also pleaded that petitioner is not owner of the forest produce, involved in the case. Whether the petitioner is innocent or not, and whether he is owner of the property involved in the crime or not, are all questions of fact, which cannot be examined by this Court with half baked evidence, before it, in its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. It is for the trial court to record the evidence and see whether the petitioner is innocent or not. The prosecution story is that in the intervening night of 11th -12th of August 2009, a vehicle registration No. UA 04C 6515 was intercepted by Forest Officials at wee hours (2:00 a.m.), wherein forest produce (boulders/minerals) were being transported. The allegation is that the petitioner asked the Driver of the vehicle to flee and after dashing at the check post, the vehicle was taken away. It is also mentioned that petitioner had been earlier also twice involved in such crime. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial of the case. Therefore, the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is dismissed with the observation that if the petitioner surrenders before the trial court, his bail application may be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay.
