Order on Board
Per Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice
1.7.2025
1. Heard Mr.Altaf Siddiqui, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr.Hariom Rai, learned Panel Lawyer appearing for respondent No.1/State.
2. The present petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section
528 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita , 2023 with the following prayer :-
“it is therefore, prayed that this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to quash and set aside the impugned FIR registered vide dated 12.09.2024 (ANNEXURE P/1) in crime no. 0303/2024 for the alleged offences under Section(s) 318(4), 316(5) & 61 of BNS against the petitioner no.1, in the interest of justice.”
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the present case, charge-sheet has been submitted against other two co- accused and has not been submitted against the present petitioner.
4. On a pointed query being made from learned counsel for the petitioner whether the argument so made that charge-sheet has been submitted against other two co-accused persons and has not been submitted against the present petitioner has been written in any of the paragraph of this petition, he could not give satisfactory reply.
5. It appears that the pleading made by the petitioner is in a very casual manner and further wasted the precious time of the Court.
6. Accordingly, the instant petition is dismissed on this ground alone with liberty to file afresh petition with appropriate prayer, subject to depositing a sum of Rs.5,000/- as cost by the petitioner in the Registry of this Court and the same shall be transmitted to the Government Disabled College, Mana Camp, Raipur (C.G.).
7. Certified copy of the documents annexed with this petition shall be returned to the counsel for the petitioners after retaining the photocopies of the same.
