AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral)
This petition has been filed under
Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.57 dated
15.9.2006 (Annexure P-1) lodged for commission of
offence under Section(s) 420, 406, 120-B IPC, Police
Station, Tripuri, District Patiala.
Learned counsel for the petitioner
contends that co-accused of the petitioner in the FIR
mentioned above approached this Court by way of
filing Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-4046 of 2008
titled ‘Megh Raj Vs. State of Punjab & Others’. The
petition has been allowed vide Order Annexure P-3
Crl. Misc. No. M-12392 of 2008 [2]
passed on 28.4.2008.
Learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 to
6 as also counsel for the respondent-State have not
been able to dispute the fact that the case on behalf
of the co-accused has been allowed vide Order
Annexure P-3.
I have considered the contentions of
the learned counsel for the petitioner to the effect
that a complaint for commission of offence under
Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
has been filed against Devinder Pal.
Learned counsel for the respondent-
State has however pointed out that the petitioner is
involved alongwith other co-accused in taking money
from 5-6 persons. A sum of Rs.11 lac was taken by way
of deceit. It has also been pointed out that the
petitioner earlier applied for similar relief by way
of filing Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-7844 of 2007
which has been dismissed.
In view of the fact that the petitioner
had earlier approached this Court for similar relief,
this petition is dismissed.
