THE HONBLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.11241 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash further proceedings against the petitioner-A1 in C.C.No.170 of 2005 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nakrekal, Nalgonda District. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor-1st respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. The petitioner along with A2 and A3 is facing prosecution for the offence under Section 409 IPC in CC No.170 of 2005. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the thrust of entire allegations is only against A2 and A3 and the petitioner-A1 has nothing to do with the alleged offence under Section 409 IPC. 5. The allegation made against A1 is that the records were kept in his house and they were seized from his house. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that A1 is the owner of the house in which A2 was a tenant and the records have been seized from the possession of A2 only who was tenant of A1. 6. The question as to where exactly the records were found and whether they were seized from the possession of A1 or A2 cannot be gone in this proceedings, as it is a matter to be considered after evidence is adduced during the course of trial. It is stated that the petitioner-A1 is aged about 80 years and though the charge sheet was filed in the year 2005, the trial has not so far commenced. 7. In the circumstances, it is held that there are no valid or sufficient grounds to quash further proceedings against the petitioner-A1 in C.C.No.170 of 2005, that too at this length of time i.e, after five years of filing of the charge sheet. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner –A1 is aged 80 years and the charge sheet was filed about 5 years back, the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nakrekal is directed to dispose of the case expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of as stated above. ______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J rkk Dated: 3-11-2010
