THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 8119 of 2009 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in Crime No. 103 of 2009 on the file of the Police Station, Krosuru, Guntur District. The petitioner is said to be the proprietor of M/s Sri Sainath Traders and was said to be stored the Public Distribution System rice. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that there is no Control Order prohibiting the storing of the Public Distribution System rice and, therefore, there is no offence made out against the petitioner. But, however, it appears that the charges are under Sections 406, 409 and 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act and in case a charge sheet is filed after investigation by the police, the petitioner can plead the non-maintainability of the above charges and can plead for discharge. With the above liberty, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 13-10-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
