Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.6298 OF 2009 ORDER : This criminal petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner/Accused seeking to quash the proceedings in crime No.62 of 2009 of Garladinne Police Station, Ananthapur District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 468 and 471 I.P.C. 2) Heard. 3) The allegation against the petitioner is of producing a bogus B.Sc.(Ag) certificate at the time of his appointment as Mandal Agricultural Officer, Garladinne. 4) The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the termination order is dated 03.04.2009 and the F.I.R. was registered on 02.05.2009 whereas the A.P.A.T. has suspended the termination proceedings dated 03.04.2009 in O.A.No.5452 of 2009 on 28.04.2009 and therefore as on 02.05.2009, on which date the crime was registered, the proceedings were already suspended by the A.P.A.T. and therefore, the action subsequent to suspension order dt.28.04.2009 i.e. filing the complaint and consequential action is not maintainable. 5) A reading of the material on record reveals that in the order of A.P.A.T. the complaint was not suspended, but only the order of termination of the petitioner was suspended and thus, there is no prohibition for launching criminal proceedings. Hence, the proceedings against the petitioner cannot be quashed. 6) Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 16th November, 2009 SUR
