By way of filing the instant petition, a prayer has been made for quashing the impugned FIR No. 996/2018 registered with the Police Station Kotwali District Alwar for the offences under Sections 420, 406 and 120-B of IPC. 2. It has been averred in the instant petition that the petitioner has not committed any offence whatsoever but he has been falsely implicated in this case, therefore, interference of this Court is warranted. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer made in the petition. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and perused the material available on record. (2 of 2) [CRLMP-570/2020] 5. Bare reading of the impugned FIR and the allegations levelled therein reveal that a cognizable offence is made out against the petitioner. The correctness of the allegations levelled against the petitioner in the impugned FIR, is not required to be adjudged by this Court at this stage while exercising its inherent powers contained under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Certainly this task has been assigned to the Investigating Officer. 6 However, the petitioner would be at liberty to submit a representation before the Investigating Officer if the investigation is still lying pending. In case, such representation is submitted by the petitioner before the Investigating Officer, it is expected from the Investigating Officer to look into the same and in case, the involvement of the petitioner is found to be proved then a notice under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. be given to the petitioner. In case, charge sheet has been submitted then the petitioner would be at liberty to take all available grounds and defence at the appropriate stage of the trial. 7. Accordingly, the instant petition stands disposed of. Stay application and all pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J Ashu/13
