ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash F.I.R in Crime No.159 of 2014 on the file of the respondent Police.

2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the 2nd respondent by giving a criminal colour to the civil dispute had given a false complaint against the petitioner and others. The 1st respondent police though aware of the pending of civil proceedings for the said property and without awaiting for the finding of the civil Court, had registered a case against the petitioners.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would further submit that, it would suffice, if this Court permits the petitioner to furnish the particulars before the law enforcing https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

agency to prove his innocence and issue direction to the law enforcing agency to complete the investigation within a time frame.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor concedes to the request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and on instructions, he would further submit that the investigation will be completed within the time frame fixed by this Court.

5.Considering the limited request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, this Court without going into the merits of the case, is inclined to issue direction to the law enforcing agency to complete the investigation in Crime No.159 of 2014, after giving opportunity to the petitioner, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to co-operate with the law enforcing agency for early completion of the investigation.

6.This criminal original petition is disposed of. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS-III) // True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar vv2 To 1.The Inspector of Police, City Crime Branch, Team 15, Egmore, Chennai.
