HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8622 OF 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.423 of 2011 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hayathnagar, Cyberabad City, taken on file for the offence punishable under Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (for short ‘the Act’). Heard both sides. On a perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that the Criminal Petition can be disposed of on a single point that the said Sections do not attract to the persons who went to the house of a person, who is running a brothel house, to ventilate their sexual lust as there is no provision in the said Act to punish such persons. In view of the above, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner herein in C.C.No.423 of 2011 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hayathnagar, Cyberabad City, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 20.09. 2011 Gk HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8622 OF 2011 (Allowed) 20.09.2011 Gk
