HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1399 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 4 & 6, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.532 of 2009 on the file of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 120-B, 406 and 420 IPC. Admittedly, after due investigation, the police laid charge sheet against the petitioners and the learned Magistrate took cognizance of the offence and numbered the same as calendar case. A perusal of the charge sheet prima facie reveals that the petitioners committed the offences of cheating, conspiracy and breach of trust. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage and accordingly the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the Criminal Petitions shall stand closed. In any event, taking into consideration the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioners does not arise, their appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with, except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be represented through their counsel. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 14th February, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.1399 of 2011 (Dismissed) 14th February, 2011 CBS
