ORDER

The petitioner seeks to quash the FIR in Crime No.1087 of 2017 on the file of the 1st respondent, registered for the offences punishable under Section 288, 336 and 304 of IPC.

2. This is the second quash petition. Earlier, this Court had dismissed the quash petition filed by the petitioner in Crl.O.P(MD) No.3422 of 2018, vide order dated 10.09.2019, by making the following observations: "It is seen from the First Information Report that there are specific allegation as against the petitioner, which has to be investigated. Further the FIR is not an encyclopedia and it need not contain all facts. Further, it cannot be quashed in the threshold. This Court finds that the FIR discloses prima facie commission of cognizable offence and as such this Court cannot interfere with the investigation. The investigating machinery has to step in to investigate, grab and unearth the crime in accordance with the procedures prescribed in the Code."

3. Hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain this second quash petition. However, the respondents are directed to conclude the investigation and file the final report at the earliest. With the above observations, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
