HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY Crl.P.No.8059 of 2009 ORAL ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings in C.C.No.144 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Vayalpad, Chittoor district for offences punishable under Sections 352, 506 and 509 IPC. The petitioner is the accused and the second respondent is the defacto complainant in the calendar case. For the sake of convenience, the parties hereinafter will be referred to as they are arrayed in the calendar case. The prosecution case is as follows: On 13.2.2009 the defacto complainant went to the Veterinary Hospital at Gurramkonda and requested the accused, who was working as Veterinary Assistant in Hospital, to visit her village in order to treat a sick cow, but the accused refused to visit her village and instead pulled and dragged the defacto complainant to an entrance gate and threatened her with dire consequences. Hence, she lodged report to the P.S. Gurramkonda and it was registered as Cr.No.13 of 2009 under Sections 352, 506 and 509 IPC. It is contended on behalf of the accused that due to political rivalry, a false case was foisted against the accused and the defacto complainant never visited the hospital. The learned counsel appearing for the defacto complainant submits that there is enough material to prosecute the accused. The point for consideration is whether there are sufficient grounds to quash the proceedings. No record is available before the Court in support of the contention of the learned counsel for the accused. Having gone through the record, I am of the view that there is prima facie material to prosecute the accused and unless the trial of the case is conducted, the complicity of the accused cannot be determined. For the foregoing reasons, the criminal petition is dismissed. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the accused is dispensed with till the commencement of the trial of the case, unless his presence is required otherwise. ________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J Dated: 28-12-2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY Crl.P.No.8059 of 2009 28.12.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY Crl.P.No.8059 of 2009 Date: 28th December, 2011 Between: G.Srinivasulu Naidu ..
