THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13242 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner/A-11 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.336 of 2009 on the file of Nandigama Police Station, Krishna District. Heard. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that basing on the confession of the co-accused, the petitioner herein is arrayed as Accused No.11. He further submitted that the petitioner worked as Manager only for 15 days, hence, prayed to quash the proceedings initiated against the petitioner in the present crime. This Court is of the view that even though the confession is not admissible in law, the same can be relied upon by the Investigating Officer for the purpose of securing the accused. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. However, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation of the case without arresting the petitioner and to file the final report either way. With the above observations, this criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated: 19.12.2011 v v
