Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9593 OF 2009 ORDER : This criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners/A.2 to A.6 seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.547 of 2009 on the file of the II Additional Munsif Magistrate, Tirupathi, for the offence punishable under Sections 417, 420 and 423 I.P.C. 2) Heard. 3) The allegation against the petitioners is of selling the schedule property to the defacto complainant, which was already sold by the father of the present petitioners to someone else, and thus cheating the complainant. 4) Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that even according to the complaint, A.1 approached the complainant initially and he got registered the property in favour of the complainant through A.2 to A.6 i.e. present petitioners and it is not the case that A.2 to A.6 have sold the property directly to the complainant. 5) Whatever the case may be, A.2 to A.6 must have known that the property, which was sold to the complainant, has been alienated earlier. Hence, it cannot be said that no prima facie case is made out against these petitioners. As such, the proceedings against the petitioners cannot be quashed. 6) However, considering the circumstances, it is directed that the petitioners shall appear before the trial court within a period of ten days from today and on such appearance the trial Court shall recall the non- bailable warrants issued against them on their filing an appropriate application. 7) With above direction, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 17th November, 2009 SUR
