Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA Criminal Petition No.6666 of 2007 ORDER:- Heard the Counsel. 2. The learned Counsel representing petitioners placed strong reliance on the decision in P. RAM MURTHY v. STATION HOUSE OFFICER, DHONE POLICE STATION, KURNOOL DISTRICT[1] and would maintain that in the facts and circumstances of the case the proceedings are liable to be quashed. 3. However, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing R.1 would maintain that this is not a fit case to be interfered under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. 4. It is stated that the allegations as seen from the F.I.R. is that one N.Naresh Babu was worked as Cashier in the Samrat Wines, Kamala Nagar, Anantapur. On 18-3-2007 morning the deceased i.e., Naresh Babu deposited an amount of Rs.1,47,250/- instead of Rs.2,20,440/- at Wine Shop Syndicate Office. Then it was informed to the deceased that an amount of Rs.73,190/- was in shortage. In this regard the petitioner and A.2 demanded the deceased to make good the shortage and also threatened to face consequences. Thereafter the deceased went to his house and after some time he left the house and committed suicide by consuming unknown pesticide. 5. The case of the petitioner is that the charge-sheet does not disclose any prima facie case against the petitioners. Even if the entire allegations are taken as true, even according to the investigation report, the petitioners never abetted the deceased to commit suicide. 6. On a careful reading of the charge-sheet, this Court is of the considered opinion that the ingredients of Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code are not attracted. Further, strong reliance was placed on the decision in P. RAM MURTHY (referred 1 supra). In the light of the same, the proceedings are hereby quashed. The Criminal Petition is allowed. ____________________ Justice P.S.Narayana 17th March, 2010 smr [1] 2002 (6) ALT 633
