By way of filing the instant criminal misc. petition, a prayer has been made to quash the impugned FIR No.17/2019 registered at the Police Station Railway Colony, District Kota City for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 406 IPC. 2. It has been averred in the instant petition that the petitioner has not committed any offence, but he has been falsely booked in the instant case on the basis of a false and fabricated story. It has also been averred in this petition that the petitioner has already [2026:RJ-JP:26262] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-2651/2019] deposited the alleged amount with the authorities concerned, hence, under these circumstances, the offence under Sections 420 & 406 IPC are not made out and the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer made in the instant misc. petition and submitted that after thorough investigation, a prima facie case was found to be proved against the petitioner, hence, interference of this Court is not warranted and the instant petition is liable to be rejected. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the material available on record. 5. A bare reading of the impugned FIR reveals commission of cognizable offence. The correctness of the allegations levelled against the petitioner in the FIR cannot be examined by this Court, while exercising its inherent powers contained under Section 482 Cr.P.C. This Court cannot conduct fishing and roving enquiry to find out the truth behind the allegations levelled against the petitioner, inasmuch as, this task has been assigned to the Investigating Officer. 6. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of the instant criminal misc. petition granting liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate representation before the Investigating Officer. It is expected from the Investigating Officer to consider the same and submit the conclusion report of investigation under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before the Competent Court, strictly in accordance with law. [2026:RJ-JP:26262] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-2651/2019] 7. This order has its effect only if the investigation is still lying pending and in case charge-sheet has already been submitted against the petitioner, then he would be at liberty to take all these grounds and the defence before the Trial Court at the appropriate stage of trial. 8. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition stands disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J 30/Karan
