HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.604 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1, 2 and 7 to 11, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in P.R.C.No.25 of 2009 on the file of the II Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Sattenapalli, Guntur District, for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 307 r/w 149 IPC. Heard both sides. The main contention raised by the petitioners’ counsel is that the 2nd petitioner herein is the defacto complainant and some of the petitioners herein are witnesses in S.C.No.57 of 2009 on the file of the V Addl. Sessions Judge, Guntur, for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 302, 307 r/w Section 149 IPC. On the same day of occurrence i.e. 29.07.2008 the 1st respondent herein filed a complaint against the petitioners herein and others and after due investigation the police referred the case as false. Aggrieved over the same, the 1st respondent preferred a private complaint before the II Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Sattenapalli, on 27.09.2009 and the same was taken on file for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 307 r/w 149 IPC in P.R.C.No.25 of 2009. He further contended that the present complaint is filed with a mala fide intention and also to pressurize the witnesses in S.C.No.57 of 2009. On perusal of the entire record, this Court is of the view that after committing the present case to the Court of Sessions and after numbering the same as Session Case, both the cases can be clubbed and joint trial can be conducted for better adjudication. Accordingly, the II Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Sattenapalli, is directed to commit the present case in P.R.C.No.25 of 2009 to the Court of Session at Guntur on or before 30.03.2011 and, on said committal, the Sessions Judge, Guntur, is directed to number the case as Sessions Case and made over the same to the V Addl. Sessions Judge, Guntur, where S.C.No.57 of 2009 is pending for adjudication. Thereupon, the V Addl. Sessions Judge, Guntur, is directed to conduct trial simultaneously in both the cases and dispose of the same, in accordance with law. In any event, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the appearance of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned trial Judge insists for their appearance. With the above directions, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with the Criminal Petition shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 9th February, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.604 of 2010 (Disposed of) 9th February, 2011 CBS
