Petn. No. 23 of 2025 seeking therein the same reliefs, which are sought herein, i.e., for quashing the abovementioned FIR. The said earlier Cril. Petn. filed by the present petitioner was dismissed by this court by a judgment and order dated 28-11-2025 as being devoid of merit. The said judgment and order is enclosed herein as Annexure/2 in the present Cril. Petn. [3] I have carefully perused the said judgment and order and on perusal of the same, this court is satisfied that all the grounds raised by the petitioner in the present petition have been considered and rejected by this court in the earlier judgment and order dated 28-11-2025. -2- Cril. Petn. No. 38 of 2026 Contd.../- [4] In view of the above, this court is not inclined to entertain this petition as the same is barred by the principle of res judicata. Accordingly, the present petition is hereby dismissed as not maintainable. JUDGE Devananda -3-
