(ORAL) Instant petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed for quashing of FIR No.203 dated 19.09.2011 registered under Sections 420/465/468/471 at Police Station New Baradari, Jalandhar, District Jalandhar along with all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom.

Heard.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner issued School Leaving Certificate (Annexure P-1) on the basis of his memory and photostat copy of the certificate given by Rajesh Kumari, which is subsequently alleged to have been forged and fabricated. Specific question was put to the learned counsel for the petitioner to show any provision in law to show as to how such a certificate can be issued on the basis of oral memory when the original admission register is not available. Learned counsel could not show any

-2Crl. Misc. No. M-10005 of 2015 provision, however, kept on asserting that the petitioner being Principal had the personal knowledge on the basis of photocopy produced by Rajesh Kumari. Learned counsel for the petitioner further stated that no benefit has been obtained on the basis of alleged School Leaving Certificate. The contention of the learned counsel cannot be accepted. On the basis of said certificate Rajesh Kumari applied for job of ClassIV category, however, on verification said certificate was found to be forged and fabricated. As a result of it, FIR in question was registered. Had the document not been got verified, the petitioner would have got the benefit on the basis of the document in question. Keeping in view the nature of the offence such matter is required to be investigated. No ground for quashing of FIR in question is made out.

Dismissed.
