HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.168 OF 2008 DATE: 05-08-2011 BETWEEN: T. Venkata Siva Rama Krishna. - - - Petitioner/ Accused. AND The State of A.P., Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad And another. - - - Respondents/ Complainant. This Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.168 OF 2008 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the Petitioner/Accused under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings in P.R.C. No.19 of 2007, pending on the file of II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. 2. Whereas the Petitioner is the Accused, the Respondent No. 2 herein is the De-facto Complainant in the Preliminary Registered Case. 3. For the sake of convenience, I refer the parties as arrayed in the Preliminary Registered Case. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the Accused and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the Respondents-State. 5. The prosecution version is that on 03-04-2007 at 12-30 the de- facto complainant namely Gantyada Vasu went to State Bank of Hyderabad and met the Accused who happened to be the Deputy Manager of the Bank and asked him to pay travel bills for which the accused represented that he did not travel to pay any bills whereas, his brother by name Sastry used their travel car and saying so grew wild and abused the de-facto complainant touching his caste name as “S.C. LANJAKODUKULLARA – YEVADU SOMMU THINTARU” and also tried to beat the de-facto complainant. 6. It is the contention of learned counsel for the accused that as the accused happened to be the brother of the said Sastry, who used the car of the Praveen Travels, there is no question of abusing the de- facto complainant in the name of his caste and a false case was foisted against the accused and hence the entire proceedings in P.R.C. No. 19 of 2007 are liable to be quashed. 7. Now the point for consideration is whether there are sufficient grounds in order to quash the proceedings in the P.R.C. Case? 8. I have gone through the record. There are specific allegations against the accused with reference to abusing the de-facto complainant touching his caste name. Therefore, unless the trial of the case is conducted no truth in the matter would come out. Hence, I am not inclined to quash the proceedings. For the foregoing reasons, The Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the presence of the accused before the trial Court is dispensed with till the date of commencement of the trial in the PRC. __________________________ G.
