Judgment :- 1. The petitioner seeks to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.152 of 2010 pending on the file of the respondent police. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner informs that he had preferred a complaint on 23.03.2010 to the respondent informing of various wrong doings by the defacto complainant and persons associated with him, which had been registered in C.S.R.No.34 of 2010. The learned counsel submits that the petitioner had sent further representations on 30.03.2010 and 01.04.2010 to the District Collector as also to the Superintendent of Police of the District. In such representations, it was informed that the defacto complainant party had threatened to array the petitioner as accused by foisting false cases. It is in such circumstances that the defacto complainant had preferred a complaint informing of offences under Sections 147, 148, 294(b) and 506(ii) IPC on 01.04.2010 and in relation to an alleged occurrence on 27.03.2010. Learned counsel would contend that the defacto complainant had only carried forward his threat and foisted a false case against the petitioner. 3. Heard the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) on the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. This Court finds that the complaint of this petitioner as also the complaint in Crime No.152 of 2010 had arisen in respect of a dispute over the affairs of a temple. This Court would now not be able to appreciate the merits or demerits of the case in Crime No.152 of 2010. For such reason, this Court would dismiss the quash petition. However, in the interest of justice, a direction is hereby given to the respondent to register a case on the complaint of the petitioner dated 23.03.2010. The investigation in such case, which is to be registered, as also in Crime No.152 of 2010 shall be conducted by the respondent under the direct supervision of the jurisdictional Deputy Superintendent of Police. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
