THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY Crl.P.No.1042/2008 Dt,1-7-2010 Pujala Argun ..Petitioner/Accused V. 1. Karra Chenna Rao and another ..Respondents The Court made the following: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY Crl.P.No.1042/2008 ORAL ORDER Taking cognizance of the offence punishable under Sections 499 and 500 IPC in CC No.274/2007 by the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Srikakulam, the petitioner/accused filed the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings initiated against him. The allegations levelled against the petitioner-accused in the charge sheet clearly disclose the accused made a publication attributing main allegation of swallowing amount by the complainant by granting discount. In the said publication, the accused made several defamatory statements against the complainant and by publishing the same, the image of the complainant has been tarnished. In view of the defamatory statements published in the Weavers Times against the complainant, it is not a fit case where this court can scuttle the proceedings initiated against the petitioner-accused, but it is a case where the complainant is to be given an opportunity to prove his case. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ______________ A.GOPAL REDDY,J Dt.1-7-2010 kmr
