The present petition has been filed by the petitioner with the following prayer: “It is, therefore, prayed that the Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the petition by quashing FIR, challan and regular criminal case (NIA No. 138) 5621/2022 (IPC) between State vs. Ramesh Kumar Yadav & Another pending before Smt. Amrita Dinesh Mishra, Judicial Magistrate First Class, Durg, District Durg (C.G.), in the interest of justice.” 3. Learned Senior Advocate for the petitioner submits that the Assistant Commandant (Administration) Central Industrial Security Force RTC, Bhilai has filed a complaint dated 21.11.2021 for registering FIR against the petitioner is based on presumption only, because all the bank statement of Ramesh Kumar goes to show that he has worked in Central Industrial Security Force and got payment of the work done, no documentary proof has been produced along with challan to prove the case against petitioner no preliminary enquiry papers has been seized by the Police as mentioned in complaint dated 25.11.2021, therefore, challan as it is do not disclose any tribal offence against the petitioner, therefore, registering FIR, filing challan and prosecuting the petitioner under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 read with Section 34 and 120-B of the IPC is not made out. Hence, it is abuse the process of law and the same is liable to be quashed, because no prima facie case is made against the petitioner for trying the above said case. 4. It is further submitted by the learned Senior Advocate for the petitioner that the Police has not filed any document from CISF Office, Bhilai either for getting preliminary enquiry or getting handwriting expert 3 report sent by Senior Superintendent of Police, Durg to State Examiner of disputed documents Police Headquarter, Raipur by letter dated 27.04.2022, therefore, challan as it is do not disclose any offence tribal against the petitioner, therefore, challan is liable to be quashed. Hence, this petition. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel as well as learned counsel, appearing for respondent No. 2 have pointed out that the charges have already been framed against the petitioner and two prosecution witnesses have already been examined by the learned trial Court and the trial is in progress. 6. We have perused the prayers and pleadings made in the petition along with the annexures annexed in this petition. 7. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case that the charges have already been framed against the petitioner and two prosecution witnesses have already been examined by the learned trial Court and the trial is in progress, therefore, at this stage, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter. 8. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed on this ground alone. However, we hope and trust that the learned trial Court shall make an earnest endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously, in accordance with law, if there is no legal impediment.
