KAVITA VERMA Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') has been filed for quashing of Kalandra under Section 182 of the Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC') (Annexure P2) and proceedings emanating therefrom.

(2.) THE sole submission made by counsel for the petitioner is that on the basis of the application filed by the petitioner levelling allegations against Rajan Chopra, Principal Sahibjada Ajit Singh Academy, Roopnagar, no FIR was registered and any investigation made by the investigating officer without registration of FIR is without jurisdiction and contrary to law, therefore, no proceedings under Section 182 IPC can be filed by the SHO even if the complaint filed by the petitioner was held to be false. In support of his contention, he has relied upon the judgment of this Court in Malkiat Singh Vs. State of Haryana,, 1999(2) RCR (Criminal) 10.

(3.) I have heard counsel for the parties and perused the case file.
