THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10728 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners-Accused approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No. 116 of 2011 of Jaggampeta Police Station, East Godavari District registered for the offences punishable under Sections 407 and 420 IPC. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have nothing to do with the alleged offences and they have been falsely implicated in this case and therefore, prays to quash the impugned proceedings. Perused the record. The allegations against the petitioners are that the 2nd respondent sold the goods worth Rs. 2,81,055/- and the same were transported through the lorry bearing No. AP 16 Y 6171, which belongs to the petitioner No.1 and the said goods were directed to be delivered at Hyderabad. But till date, the said goods were not delivered at the place, where the 2nd respondent directed to deliver the goods. After verification, the 2nd respondent filed a complaint against the petitioner No.1, who is the owner of the said lorry and also against her husband, who is the petitioner No.2. Hence, this is a case to be investigated by the police and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. Taking into consideration the fact that the goods were not delivered at the particular place as directed by the respondent No.2- complainant, at the same time, there is no allegation that the petitioners are also aware of the said fact, since, they being the owners, they are included as accused in this case. Considering the same, the police are directed to investigate the matter and file a final report. The petitioners are directed to appear before the 1st respondent for a period of one week from 21.11.2011 and also whenever required by the police and the petitioners shall cooperative with the investigation. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 4.11.2011 CHV
