It is stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner, who is the Police personnal seeking quashment of impugned order dated 03.01.2025 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Katghora, District Korba (C.G.) (for short, ‘Magistrate’), whereby the application under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. filed by the respondent No. 3 has been allowed and the Superintendent of Police, Korba has been directed to register the FIR against the petitioner and after investigation the final report has been directed to be submitted. He further states that the order of the learned Magistrate is not only illegal and erroneous, but is also contrary to the well settled legal principles. On a pointed query being made by the learned State counsel whether FIR has been registered or not, learned State counsel states that no FIR has been registered against the petitioner till date. The Superintendent of Police, Korba, is directed to file his personal affidavit calling upon the explanation 3 on the Station House Officer as to why the FIR has not been registered against the petitioner till date despite the order passed by the learned Magistrate on 03.01.2025 for registering the FIR against the petitioner. A copy of this order be sent to the Superintendent of Police, Korba, through the learned State counsel for information and necessary action forthwith. Let this matter be placed before this Court for consideration of the personal affidavit that would be filed by the Superintendent of Police, Korba, on 20.01.2025.” 4. Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, it has been stated by learned State counsel that in compliance of the Court’s order dated 17.01.2025, an affidavit has been filed by the Superintendent of Police, Korba, whereby it has been informed that FIR has been lodged against the petitioner on 17.01.2025. 5. Considering the fact that FIR has already been lodged against the petitioner on 17.01.2025, we do not find any good ground for interference in the present matter. 6. Accordingly, the instant petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to take recourse to the FIR which as been lodged against him.
