JUDGMENT 1. - The petitioner by way of this criminal misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.RC. prayed for quashment of FIR No. 522/2007 dated 15.10.2007 registered at Police Station - Gumanpura, District: Kota for the offences under Sections 420 and 406 of IPC. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor submits that in the present matter, after investigation the police has filed final report on 13.12.2007. Further, in the changed circumstances, nothing remains in the present misc. petition. 3. In view of the submissions made on behalf of learned Public Prosecutor and in view of ratio decided by the Honble Supreme Court in the case of State of Bihar and another v. Shri P.P. Sharma and another, AIR 1991 SC 1260 , has held that the appreciation of evidence is the function of the criminal Courts. The High Court, under the circumstances, could not have assumed jurisdiction and put on end to the process of investigation and trial provided under the law and mere allegations of mala fide against informant and investigating officer cannot be basis for quashing proceedings. 4. Similar view has been expressed by the Honble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India and others v. B.R. Bajaj and others, AIR 1994 SC 1256 , wherein it has been observed by the Honble Supreme Court that FIR containing some important allegations which make out a cognizable offence at that stage and registration of FIR was only beginning of investigation and quashing of FIR by the High Court is not proper-Treating whole matter as though it was an appeal against the order of conviction was not permissible in exercising inherent power under Section 482 particularly at stage of FIR when same discloses commission of cognizable offence which had still to be investigated thoroughly by police. 5. Therefore, in view of the ratio decided by the Honble Supreme Court in the case of State of Bihar and another v. Shri P.P. Sharma and another (supra) and Union of India and others v. B.R. Bajaj and others (supra) as also in the case of State of Haryana and Others v. Bhajan Lal and Others, 1992 Supp(1) SCC 335 , this Court do not find any merit in the instant misc. petition. No case for quashing the FIR No. 522/2007 dated 15.10.2007 registered at Police Station - Gumanpura, District: Kota for the offences under Sections 420 and 406 of IPC, is made out.
