At the outset, Learned P.P. appearing on behalf of the respondent-State submitted that since the subject matter of all the FIRs are different. So, the petitioner ought to have filed separate petitions for quashing the separate FIRs. Furthermore, according to Learned P.P., in two of the above cases, charge-sheets have been submitted and charges have already been framed against the petitioner-accused. So, according to Learned P.P., the present petition is not maintainable.
