C482 No. 575 of 2011 with CRMA No. 698 of 2011 Hon'ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri Siddhartha Sah, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Shri P.S. Bohara, Brief Holder, present for the State. Heard. By means of this petition moved under section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (For short Cr.P.C.) the petitioner has sought quashing of the proceedings of criminal case no. 240 of 2010, relating to offences punishable under section 353, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Pantnagar, pending in the court of Civil Judge (Sr. Div.)/ Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar. In substance allegations against the petitioner are that he obstructed the complainant (District Education Officer, Udham Singh Nagar) in discharge of his public duties. It is also alleged that petitioner hurled abuses at him and threatened him to kill. Shri Siddhartha Sah, learned counsel for the petitioner argued that impugned proceedings are liable to the quashed for the want of sanction required under section 197 Cr.P.C.. Having gone through the papers on record, this Court is of the view that hurling abuses on Senior Officer, and threatening to kill him cannot be said be discharge of any public duty. Therefore, without expressing any opinion as to final merits of the case, this petition under section 482 Cr.P.C., is dismissed summarily. (Stay application no. 698 of 2011, stands disposed of).
