However, as he was named in the suicide note allegedly written by the deceased, the name of the petitioner finds mention in the police proceedings. He contends that a reading of the FIR alongwith the police proceedings, the suicide note and the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of Neelam does not, in any manner, suggest that the petitioner had committed the offence for which he had been charge- sheeted. In fact, a bare perusal of the suicide note and the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. would only go to show that the petitioner had been named therein with sketchy allegations of him threatening the deceased. He further contends that the proceedings qua co-accused, namely, Sharanjit Singh, Jaskirat Singh, Kuldeep Singh and Gurpreet Singh already stand quashed by this Court. The case of the petitioner was on a better footing and therefore, the proceedings qua the petitioner was also liable to be quashed.
