IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11067 OF 2009 Between: Rachakonda Narender, S/o. Maruthi ……Petitioner – Accused AND The State of A.P., Rep. by the Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another .....Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11067 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner Rachakonda Narender, accused, seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C. No.153 of 2008 on the file of Additional Junior Civil Judge, Jagitial, arising out of Crime No.257 of 2000 of Jagtial Town Police Statio, Karimnagar District, registered for the offences under Sections 420 & 506 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. Originally the C.C. is of 2001 – C.C. No.105 of 2001 and the same was renumbered in 2008 as C.C. No.153 of 2008, which the petitioner seeks to quash now in 2009. In the circumstances, obviously this petition is filed only to delay the disposal of the C.C. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, the petition can be dismissed, as in case there is no prima facie case against the petitioner, he ought to have approached this Court initially itself. 4. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. The petitioner is at liberty to take all the pleas before the trial Court. ____________________ P.
