count. The FIR which was lodged after 39 days of the incident, does not indicate the date or time, when the accused trespassed into the house of the complainant and caused damage to his property and committed the other offences for which the FIR came to be registered. Therefore, we are of the view that the impugned FIR seems to be nothing but a tool to wreak vengeance against the appellant herein. 17. In this background, we feel that it is a fit case warranting exercise of powers conferred upon this Court under Article 142 of the Constitution of India so as to quash the proceedings of the criminal case. 818. As a result, impugned FIR No. 590 of 2019 and all subsequent proceedings sought to be taken thereunder are hereby quashed and set aside. 19. The appeal is allowed in these terms. 20. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. .………………………….……….J. (B.R. GAVAI) ………..………………….……….J. (SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA) …………………………………….J. (SANDEEP MEHTA) New Delhi; May 15, 2024 9
