Heard Mr. Sadavarte, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2.

Perused the FIR. Perusal thereof prima-facie discloses commission of offence under sections 380, 457 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The veracity of the allegations made in the FIR cannot be gone into at this stage. The petitioner's prayer for quashing the FIR, therefore, cannot be entertained. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
