OM PRAKASH AGARWAL Vs. STATE OF U P

Decided On May 27, 2003
OM PRAKASH AGARWAL Appellant
V/S
STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Counsel.

(2.) THE petitioner has prayed for quashing the impugned FIR copy of which is Annexure 12 to the writ petition which relates to crime No. 234 of 2002 at police station Kotwali City, Mirzapur.

(3.) THE methodology adopted in such cases has apparently been followed in this case also. A perusal of the FIR shows that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner noted the false names and address of the persons who booked their goods at the petitioner's booking agency. This was apparently done to show that these goods are being sent out of the State of U. P. and hence it is shown as an inter state or export sale and not an intra state sale. In this way trade tax is evaded.
