These two criminal misc. petitions have been submitted by the petitioners for quashing of the FIR No.721/2018 registered at [2026:RJ-JP:26271] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-7897/2018] the Police Station Kardhani, District Jaipur (West) for the offences punishable under Section 420 IPC. 2. It has been averred in these petitions that the land in dispute belongs to the petitioners, but they have been falsely booked in the instant case and they are having valid title over the subject land. Hence, the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed and set- aside. 3. Learned counsel for the complainant as well as learned Public Prosecutor submit that the land in question is a public land, which has been encroached by the petitioners on the basis of the fabricated documents. 4. This Court directed the Jaipur Development Authority by impleading it as the party-respondent in the array of cause-title and directed the Jaipur Development Authority to submit the factual report with regard to the status of the subject land. 5. In response to the above, learned counsel for the Jaipur Development Authority submits that the land bearing Khasra No. 86 ad measuring 2.6557 hectares is a public land, which has been encroached by the accused persons for which a notice has also been given to them to remove the same. 6. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the material available on record. 7. Perusal of the impugned FIR and the allegations levelled therein reveals commission of cognizable offence. The correctness of the allegations levelled against the petitioners in the impugned 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 [2026:RJ-JP:26271] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-7897/2018] behind the allegations levelled against the petitioners, inasmuch as, this task has been assigned to the Investigating Officer. 8. In case, the petitioners are having any valid title over the subject land, they would be at liberty to submit a detailed comprehensive representation before the Investigating Officer. If the same is submitted, it is expected from the Investigating Officer to consider the same and submit the conclusion report of the investigation under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before the Competent Court, strictly in accordance with law. 9. Since the interim order is operating in favour of the petitioners, their custodial investigation is not required. The Investigating Officer is at liberty to investigate and interrogate the petitioners without insisting for their arrest. The petitioners are directed to co-operate with the Investigating Officer. In case, the petitioners fail to co-operate with the Investigating Officer, he would be at liberty to submit an appropriate application before this Court for seeking appropriate directions. 10. With the aforesaid observations, these criminal misc. petitions stand disposed of. Stay applications as well as all pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
