Facts of the case, in brief, is that the complainant namely Amit Saluja, a transporter, lodged a written complaint against the petitioner that the petitioner, who works as a Manager, was in connivence with the truck driver, unloaded the trucks bearing registration numbers CG 15 CX 0935 and CG 15 CX 1968 in the depot and the coal of inferior quality was loaded in both the trucks and the same was supplied to Jaypee Cement Satna. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the name of the petitioner was not named in the FIR and he has been falsely implicated only on the basis of the statement of co-accused persons. He submits that no seizure has been made from him and no reason has been explained for lodging the FIR with delay of almost one month. He further submits that no summons was issued to the petitioner with respect to the charge sheet submitted against him. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel oppose the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that the charge sheet has been filed in the present case against the petitioner and the trial has been commenced. 5. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. From bare perusal of the final report submitted against the petitioner, it is manifest that the petitioner who works as a Manager was unloaded the trucks in connivance with the drivers and the 3 inferior quality of coal was loaded and thereafter, the same was supplied to Jaypee Cement, Satna, we find that it cannot be said that it does not disclose any cognizable offence and even the trial has already been commenced hence, we are not inclined to entertain the petition at this stage. However, the trial Court is requested to conclude the trial expeditiously. 7. Accordingly, the present CRMP is dismissed.
