AI extract

Outcome

Liberty to file the petition afresh, subject to deposit of Rs. 1,000/- as cost; certified copies of annexed documents, if any, to be returned to counsel after photocopying, subject to deposit of the fine amount.

Issue for consideration

Whether the petition seeking quashing of the FIR, charge-sheet and criminal proceeding could proceed despite omitting the necessary particulars of the impugned FIR and charge-sheet (date of registration, specific offences, police station, criminal case number).

Court's answer

On perusal of the relief clause, the petitioner had failed to mention the necessary particulars of the impugned FIR and charge-sheet; the omission rendered the relief sought uncertain and showed the prayer to be drafted in a vague, casual and sketchy manner.

Ratio / Principle

The petition was dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to file afresh, subject to the petitioner depositing Rs. 1,000/- as cost in the Registry, to be transmitted to the Government Multi Handicapped Special School, Bagbahra, District-Mahasamund (C.G.), for wasting the Court's time.

Key takeaways

Certified copies of the documents annexed in the petition, if any, were directed to be returned to the petitioner's counsel after obtaining photocopies, subject to deposit of the fine amount.ratio¶27

Chhattisgarh High Court (Bilaspur), CRMP No. 731 of 2026 (decided 13.03.2026): A petition praying for quashing of the FIR, charge-sheet and criminal proceeding against the petitioner was found, on perusal of the relief clause, to omit the necessary particulars of the impugned FIR and charge-sheet — the date of registration, specific offences alleged, the police station concerned and the criminal case number. Observing that the omission rendered the relief uncertain and reflected a vague, casual and sketchy drafting wasting the Court's time, the Bench permitted withdrawal and dismissed the petition as withdrawn, with liberty to file afresh subject to deposit of Rs. 1,000/- as cost, to be transmitted to the Government Multi Handicapped Special School, Bagbahra, District-Mahasamund (C.G.); certified copies of annexed documents were ordered returned to counsel after photocopying, subject to deposit of the fine amount.

Judgment on Board

Per Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice

1. Heard Mr. Janu Khare, learned counsel, appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. S.S. Baghel, learned Government Advocate, appearing for the respondent No.1 / State.

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

“It is therefore the petitioner most humbly to pray to this Hon’ble High Court to kindly plead to pass an order for quashing the FIR, charge-sheet and criminal proceeding initiated against him.”

3. From a perusal of the relief clause, it transpires that the petitioner has failed to mention the necessary particulars of the impugned FIR and charge-sheet, such as the date of registration, the specific offences alleged, the name of the concerned Police Station where the FIR has been registered, as well as the criminal case number in which the proceedings have been initiated against him. The omission of such material details reflects that the prayer has been drafted in a vague, casual and sketchy manner, which not only renders the relief sought uncertain but also results in unnecessary wastage of the valuable time of the Court.

4. In view of the same, learned counsel for the petitioner pray to withdraw the present petition with liberty to file afresh.

5. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed as withdrawn , with liberty to file petition afresh, subject to depositing a sum of Rs. 1,000/- as cost by the petitioner in the Registry of this Court and the same shall be transmitted to the Government Multi Handicapped Special School, Bagbahra, District- Mahasamund (C.G.), for wasting the precious time of this Court.

6. Certified copy of the documents annexed in the petition, if any, may be returned back to the counsel for the petitioner after obtaining the photocopy of the same, subject to deposit of the fine amount.
