APPELLANT(S)

STATION HOUSE OFFICER & ANR.

RESPONDENT (S)

ORDER

1. We have heard learned Senior counsel appearing for the appellant and learned counsel appearing for the respondents.

2. Leave granted.

3. The only submission made by the learned Senior counsel appearing for the appellant is that the High Court has committed a legal error in dismissing the petition filed by the appellant for quashing of the FIR as infructuous as, the FIR can be challenged even after the chargesheet is filed.

4. Admittedly, the High court did not go into the merits of the case. Though, the chargesheet has been filed, law does not prohibit the matter being decided on merits. However, in order to avoid any technical objection in future, liberty is given to the appellant to file appropriate amended petition challenging the chargesheet

as well. The same has to be done within a period of four weeks.

5. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside and the matter stands remitted to the High Court. In the meanwhile, the trial shall not be proceeded.

6. The appeal is, accordingly, disposed of.

7. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
