Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5966 OF 2009 ORDER : This criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioners/A.2 seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.161 of 2009 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bhongir, for the offence punishable under Sections 463, 464, 465 and 201 of I.P.C. 2) The allegations leveled against the petitioner are that the petitioner had falsely attested the signature of A.1 on a forged document, which was executed by impersonating the executant. 3) The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that another person similarly placed to the petitioner is not arrayed as an accused in the charge sheet and therefore, the petitioner is also entitled for the same benefit. 4) But, the stand taken by the learned counsel for the petitioner cannot be considered as a ground for quashing the proceedings as prima facie the investigation revealed the participation of the petitioner in creation of a forged document by impersonating the executant. In view of the serious nature of allegations made against him, it is not a fit case for quashing the proceedings. 5) Therefore, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 28th October, 2009 sur
