This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in Crl.M.P.No.4206 of 2014 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, Rajapalayam against the petitioner.

2.Perusal of the grounds raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner would show that there are no merits in the grounds raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner to quash the criminal proceedings against them. Further, perusal of the charge sheet would show that there are specific allegations as against the petitioner. The grounds raised in the petition have to be gone into in a full fledged trial. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings and the criminal original petition is liable to be dismissed.

3.Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (RTI) /True Copy/ https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ Sub Assistant Registrar(CS-III)
