REPRESENTED BY STATE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA, BENCH AT DHARWAD. …RESPONDENT (BY SRI SHARAD V. MAGADUM, AGA) THIS CRIMINAL PETITION IS FILED U/SEC. 482 OF CR.P.C. SEEKING THAT THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN CC NO. 2029/2022 (CRIME NO.103/2021 GANGAWATI TOWN PS) PENDING ON THE FILE OF PRL.CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC GANGAVATHI, FOR THE OFFENCE PUNISHABLE U/S 420 OF IPC, U/R 7,19(C)(2) OF FERTILIZER (CONTROL) ACT 1985 AND UNDER SECTION 3 OF ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES ACT 1955, INSOFAR AS THESE PETITIONERS/ACCUSED NO. 6 AND 8 ARE CONCERNED, MAY KINDLY BE QUASHED BY ALLOWING THIS CRIMINAL PETITION. Digitally signed by VISHAL NINGAPPA PATTIHAL Location: High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad Bench, Dharwad - 2 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:1603 CRL.P No. 100339 of 2023 THIS CRIMINAL PETITION, COMING ON FOR FURTHER HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA) 1. The petitioners-accused Nos.6 and 8 are knocking at the doors of this Court, in the subject petition calling in question the proceedings in C.C.No.2029/2022. 2. Heard the learned counsel Sri.J.S.Shetty, appearing for petitioners and learned AGA Sri.Sharad V. Magadum appearing for the respondent-State. 3. It transpires that on a credible information, a complaint is being registered in Crime No.103/2021 for the offences punishable under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code, Sections 7, 19(C)(2) of the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985 and Section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. Police conduct investigation and files their final report. While drawing the final report, the petitioners have been lugged into the proceedings. Filing of the - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:1603 CRL.P No. 100339 of 2023 charge-sheet against these petitioners is what has driven them to this Court in the subject petition. 4. Learned counsel Sri.J.S.Shetty appearing for the petitioners would vehemently contend that, a perusal at the summary of the charge-sheet would indicate any offence against these petitioners much less the ingredients of the offences that are alleged. Learned counsel would further take this Court through the summary of the charge-sheet and would raise twin points; that are all the allegations against other accused at best, accused Nos.6 and 8-petitioners who have no role to play, they are a coolie and a contractor and are employed or working in the APMC yard at Gangavathi. Learned counsel would submit that, permitting further proceedings would become an abuse of process of law in the light of nothing found against these petitioners. 5. Learned AGA would seek to refute the submissions, but is not in a position to point out - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:1603 CRL.P No. 100339 of 2023 allegations against the present petitioners in these cases. He is unable to point out any ingredients of any of the offences against these petitioners-accused Nos.6 and 8. In that light, he would leave decision at the hands of the Court. 6. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material on record. 7. The afore-narrated facts are not in dispute. What drives the petitioners to this Court is not the registration of the crime but filing of the final report while that is not an impediment in law that one who is not drawn in the FIR should not be drawn in the final report but there should be material against them. The complaint so filed that becomes a crime in Crime No.103/2021, reads as follows: - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:1603 CRL.P No. 100339 of 2023 “10. ¥ÀæxÀªÀÄ ªÀvÀðªÀiÁ£À ªÀgÀ¢AiÀÄ «ªÀgÀUÀ¼ÀÄ EAzÀÄ ¢£ÁAPÀ 16-06-2021 gÀAzÀÄ 13-00 UÀAmÉUÉ ²æà ¥ÀæPÁ±À PÀȶ C¢üPÁj gÉÊvÀ ¸ÀA¥ÀPÀð PÉÃAzÀæ UÀtUÁªÀw EªÀgÀÄ oÁªÀuÉUÉ §AzÀÄ vÀªÀÄäzÉÆAzÀÄ ¦üAiÀiÁ𢠤ÃrzÀÄÝ DzÀgÀ ¸ÁgÀA±ÀªÉãÉAzÀgÉ, EAzÀÄ ¢£ÁAPÀ 16-06-20216-30 gÀAzÀÄ ªÀÄÄAeÁ£É 6-30 UÀAmÉUÉ DgÉÆævÀgÁzÀ (01) ¥Àæ±ÁAvÀ vÀAzÉ D£ÀAzÀ¥Àà ¥ÁnÃ¯ï ¸Á: G¦à£ÀªÀiÁ½ PÁåA¥ï, UÀAUÁªÀw.

A perusal at the summary of the charge-sheet would indicate no offence against accused No.6 and 8 in particular. The accused No.6 is said to be a coolie working in the APMC and accused No.8 is the contractor. Finding no allegations against them that would, touch upon the - 8 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:1603 CRL.P No. 100339 of 2023 ingredients of the offences so alleged, permitting further proceedings against these petitioners would become an abuse of process of law and result in miscarriage of justice. 9. In that light, I deem it appropriate to obliterate the proceedings qua the petitioners. For the reasons, the following: ORDER (i) The criminal petition is allowed. (ii) The proceedings in C.C. No.2029/2022 pending on the file of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Gangavathi registered for the offences punishable under Sections 7, 19(C)(2) of the Fertiliser (Control) Order 1985 and Section 3 of Essential Commodities Act, 1955 stands quashed qua petitioners herein.
