THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7672 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioner – accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.2044 of 2008 on the file of the III Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, wherein she is facing charge for the offence punishable under Section 379 of IPC. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the offences alleged against her and a false case has been foisted against her. Only basing on the confessional statement, the petitioner is implicated as accused and the confessional statement of accused is not admissible in evidence. 3. This Court perused the records and heard the arguments. This Court is of the view that even though confession of the co- accused is not admissible in evidence, but the investigation may proceed on the basis of the confession recorded by the investigating agency. In the present case, police filed charge sheet after completion of due investigation. Charge sheet reveals some prima facie allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and she shall properly be represented through her counsel. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 27th August 2011, Rns.
