ORDER

The present criminal original petition has been filed to call for the records pertaining to the proceedings in FIR No.985 of 2015 dated 10.8.2015 pending on the file of the first respondent police against the petitioner / A.2 and quash the same.

2. In view of the limited order going to be passed hereunder, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need to issue notice to the second respondent.

3. The case in Crime No.985 of 2015 has been registered against the petitioner based on the complaint given by one P.Kumar, the second respondent herein for the alleged offence punishable under Sections 406 and 420 I.P.C. To quash the same, the present criminal original petition has been filed. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

4. However, I am of the considered opinion that the scope of Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the first information report is very limited, since the investigation is not yet completed. Hence, I am of the opinion that the present OP is a pre-mature one. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach this Court after filing final report by the first respondent police.

5. In fine, the criminal original petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to work out his remedy after filing of the final report. The first respondent is directed to complete the investigation and file a final report as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
