THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR Criminal Petition No.4474 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri M.Karuna Sagar, learned counsel for the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor. Petitioner is the first accused in C.C.No.714 of 2009 on the file of the VI Metropolitan Magistrate, at Medchel. The offences are under Section 20(4) of A.P. Education Act, 1982. The offence relates to violation of starting a college without permission. This case arises out of Crime No.262 of 2008 of PS Pet Basherabad. It is not necessary to go into other details. It may be noted that the second accused in this case is Management of Narayana Residential (Boys) Jr.College at Kompally. It is seen that earlier the second respondent herein filed a letter before the concerned police when the matter was at the investigation stage for withdrawal of the case on the ground that the said accused obtained permission subsequently. The learned counsel for the petitioner, i.e., the first accused now says that the second respondent has issued a similar letter dated 04.05.2011 informing the police that this accused has also obtained permission subsequently and also sought for withdrawal of the case. Thus, what should be noted is that the second respondent has informed the concerned police about withdrawing the case on the ground that this petitioner has also obtained permission subsequently. In similar circumstances, this Court in Crl.P.No.8678 of 2011 by order, dated 17.09.2010 quashed the case when it was at the stage of investigation against the second accused. Therefore, the same order should follow in this case also. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.714 of 2009 against this petitioner are quashed. ___________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J. 22nd June 2011, Rns
