ORDER

The petitioner, who is A3 in Spl.S.C.No.18 of 2025 on the file of the I Additional District Court (PCR), Trichirappalli, has filed this petition to quash the said proceedings.

2.The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner and the defacto complainant are relatives, however, they are belonging to different communities. Due to family dispute, the accused persons abused the defacto complainant by using his caste name. Therefore, the second respondent has lodged a complaint, based on which, a case in Cr.No.561 of 2024 came to be registered. Upon completion of investigation, the first respondent has filed the final report, which was taken on file in Spl.S.C.No.18 of 2025 by the I Additional District Court (PCR), Trichirappalli. Challenging the same, this petition has been filed. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegations levelled in the FIR are baseless, but the first respondent has conducted the investigation and filed the final report mechanically. Accordingly, he prays to quash the impugned proceedings. 2/5

4.The learned Government Advocate(Crl.side) appearing for the first respondent submits that the grounds raised by the petitioner have to be appreciated only before the trial Court during the course of trial.

Therefore, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition. Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to raise all these grounds before the trial Court.
