10:22:26 +0530 HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR CRMP No. 3873 of 2025 Hermon Ekka S/o Simon Ekka Aged About 61 Years Occupation - Government Service, Resident Of House No.06, Kanha Homes, Shanti Nagar, Ring, Road No.02, Nehru Nagar, Bilaspur (C.G.)

... Petitioner versus State of Chhattisgarh Through - Station House Officer, Police Station, Sakari, District- Bilaspur (C.G.)

... Respondent (Cause-title taken from Case Information System)

For Petitioner : Mr. Sudhir Verma, Advocate For Respondent/State : Mr. Shailendra Sharma, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Arvind Kumar Verma , Judge Judgment on Board Per Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice

06.01.2026 appearing for the State/respondent.

2. The petitioner has filed this petition praying for following relief:-

“It is therefore, prayed that this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the application in the favour of the applicant and quash criminal proceedings of criminal case No.30874/2025 and the F.I.R. No.543/2025, in the interest of justice.”

3. On careful perusal of the prayer clause as well as the pleadings contained in the present petition, it clearly emerges that though the petitioner seeks quashment of the First Information Report, the prayer suffers from serious deficiencies. The petitioner has neither disclosed the date of the FIR nor specified the offences alleged against him. Furthermore, it is not in dispute that the charge-sheet has already been filed; however, neither the charge- sheet nor the consequential order framing charges has been assailed. Such omissions render the prayer vague, incomplete, and legally untenable.

4. The manner in which the petition has been drafted reflects a casual and sketchy approach, lacking necessary particulars and proper pleadings. Filing of such an ill-conceived petition not only demonstrates disregard for settled procedural requirements but has also resulted in unnecessary consumption of valuable judicial time.

5. In view of the aforesaid defects, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the present petition with liberty to file a fresh, duly constituted petition incorporating appropriate pleadings and a proper prayer clause.

6. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed for, subject to the petitioner depositing costs of Rs.5,000/- in the Registry of this Court within a period of one week from today. The said amount shall be transmitted to the Government School for Visual and Hearing Impaired, Tifra, District Bilaspur (C.G.).

7. Learned Panel Lawyer appearing on behalf of the respondent/State is present.

8. Certified copies of the documents annexed to the petition, if any, shall be returned to learned counsel for the petitioner after retaining photocopies thereof on record, subject to deposit of the aforesaid costs.
