THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V. SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No. 10834 OF 2010 Dated: 03-11-2011 Between: Kolla Kishore Kumar ... PETITIONER AND Gottipati Chimpa Rao and another ... RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J CRIMINAL PETITION No. 10834 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C for quashing of the proceedings in pursuance of F.I.R No. 75 of 2010 of Parchur Police Station, Prakasam District. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appeared for the 1st respondent. Perused the records. On a complaint given by the 1st respondent who is the Village Revenue Officer of Jagarlamudi Village, the police registered a case in Crime No. 75 of 2010 against the petitioner initially under Section 174 Cr.P.C and subsequently section of law was altered to 304-A IPC. The petitioner is stated to be a cable operator working from Chirala. As per the averments in the complaint, on 15-10-2010, the deceased Tammaluri Samuel went to the lands which he has taken on lease for the purpose of spraying pesticides to the cotton crop standing on the land and that he appears to have died because of electric shock as he came in contact with SVC cable wire that was running from Parchur to Jagarlamudi. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the cable wire does not carry any electricity and the petitioner who was running cable network at Chirala is sought to be unnecessarily implicated. Even according to the complaint, the death was due to contact with fallen electric wire. The complainant appears to have presumed that the deceased died because of electric shock. As the SVC cable wire is stated to be not carrying any electric charge, the deceased dying on account of electric shock by coming into contact with a fallen cable wire does not arise. Under those circumstances, further proceedings against the petitioner who was operating cable network at a distant place in Chirala are totally unwarranted and continuance of such proceedings would only amount to abuse of process of law. It is, therefore, considered a fit case where the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C can be invoked and the further proceedings against the petitioner be quashed and they are accordingly quashed. In the result, the criminal petition is allowed. G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Dt. 03-11-2011 ks
