GAGANDEEP Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present petition has been filed by the petitioner -Gagandeep under Section 482, Cr.P.C., for quashing of FIR No. 66, dated 17.12.2011, under Sections 120 -B, 406 and 420, IPC, registered at Police Station, Division No. 8 (Kailash Chowk), Ludhiana (Annexure P -12) and all the consequential proceedings arising therefrom.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submitted that perusal of the FIR would reveal that no offence under Section 120 -B, 406 and 420, IPC, is made out so far as the petitioner, Gagandeep, is concerned; a case of civil dispute has been given the shape of the criminal case; respondent No. 2/complainant, Bhupesh Gogia did not honour the obligations arising out of the agreements Annexures P -1 and P -2 and insisted upon to transfer the land in favour of respondent No. 2/complainant under the garb of the impugned FIR. He further submitted that respondent No. 2/complainant wanted to get the sale deed executed without making the entire payment as had been agreed between Inderjit and respondent No. 2/complainant; that the impugned FIR was lodged with mala -fide intention just to wreak vengeance; and that the allegations levelled in the FIR are absurd and miserably improbable on the basis of which no prudent person could ever reach a conclusion that there was sufficient ground for proceedings against the petitioner.
