THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12359 OF 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioner-accused seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No. 65 of 2010 on the file of West Zone Team, CCS, DD, Hyderabad. The offences levelled against the petitioner are punishable under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 506 I.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondent de facto-complainant being a friend of Accused No.1 from childhood, invested Rs.4,48,50,000/- with him for purchase of lands. The only allegation against the present petitioner is that he sold the property for which he is not the owner and the same was purchased by Accused No.1. He further submits that there is no nexus between the de facto- complainant and the petitioner. Admittedly, the matter is at the stage of investigation. A prima facie perusal of the material available on record discloses that there are allegations against the petitioner. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the truth or otherwise of those allegations cannot be decided right at this stage. It is for the investigating agency to collect evidence to decide the issue either way. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. The Criminal Petition is dismissed. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01st December 2011 ksld
