The 2nd respondent became a member in the chit conducted by Kapil Chit Funds (P) Limited. The value of the chit is about Rs.2,50,000/-. The 2nd respondent paid monthly instalments of Rs.5,000/-. Subsequently, he became prized subscriber of the chit. When he went to receive the amount consequent on his becoming a prized subscriber, the members of the chit fund company refused to give the money and instead threatened him with dire consequences. Hence, this petition by Sri Vadapalli Sagar, Manager, Kapil Chit Funds (p) Limited, Jangareddigudem Branch. Notice to the 2nd respondent came to be ordered on 24.6.2009. The 2nd respondent entered appearance through a counsel. Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the averments in the complaint presented by the 2nd respondent do not satisfy the ingredients of Section 420 IPC, and therefore, continuation of proceedings in Crime No.138 of 2009 amounts to abuse of process of law. I have gone through the report submitted by the 2nd respondent. The name of the petitioner does not find place in the report. Even in the printed F.I.R, under column No.7, which deals with details of known/ Suspected/unknown accused, the name of the petitioner does not find place. When the name of the petitioner does not find place in the array of the accused, it is too premature for him to approach this Court for quashing the proceedings in Crime No.138 of 2009. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J Dt.26-08-2010 RAR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Criminal Petition No.4270 of 2009 (Dated : 26-08-2010)
