Crl. O.P. No.16935 of 2024 and Crl. M.P. No.10186 of 2024
N.SESHASAYEE. J.,
This criminal original petition is laid for quashing the FIR in Crime No.2/2024/AC/TPR. The case came to be registered on 12.03.2024. A certified copy of the FIR, which the petitioner had obtained from the trial court is made available in the typed set of papers. The respondent too has filed his counter today.

  1. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this court to certain additional typed set of papers, which he had filed on 22.07.2024. Here he has enclosed a FIR in a printed form which carries the same serial number and also the crime number, but seems to have been registered on 07.03.2024 by the same investigating officer, but against a different accused person. Whereas the complainant in the present case is one G.Ashok Kumar and the complainant in the case registered on 07.03.2024 is certain Velusamy. On a cursory scrutiny, this court finds that the handwriting in both the FIRs seems to be strikingly similar.
