1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid mode.

Order No.

2.

The petitioner in this application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short "Cr.P.C.") has prayed for quashing of the entire criminal proceeding in G.R. Case No.229 of 2002, arising out of Tumudibandh P.S. Case No.32 of 2002, pending on the file of the learned S.D.J.M., Baliguda on the ground of compromise.

3.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.

4.

Since the F.I.R. allegation discloses a cognizable offence under Section 376 of IPC which is heinous and serious in nature, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition,

// 2 // more so when the status of the investigation is also not known. Hence, this CRLMC filed being devoid of any merit stands dismissed. Interim order dated 07.08.2012 passed by this Court stands vacated.

5.

However, this Court observes that the petitioner, if so aggrieved, may challenge the order of cognizance taken after registration, if the case is pending.

6.

A copy of this order be communicated to the Court below forthwith.

(S. Pujahari) Judge MRS
