4.I am unable of agree with any of submission of the petitioner's counsel.

case. If the petitioner's counsel contentions are to be gone into, this Court will have to undertake a factual investigation. This is a case of alleged job racketing. The petitioner is said to have taken money from the defacto complainant and others by promising them that he would secure for their rewards employment in police department as police constables. While exercising my jurisdiction under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., I cannot undertake such an investigation. I have to necessarily dismiss the petition. The criminal original petition is accordingly dismissed. The defences of the petitioner are left open. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
