The C.C. is of 2007, which the petitioners seek to quash now in 2010.

Furthermore, as contended by the learned Special Public Prosecutor for SPE & ACB Cases, the material on record reveals that the petitioners, without there being any structures, have prepared a report stating that certain structures are existing, to help someone unlawfully to save them from the Urban Land Ceiling Act etc. 5. In the circumstances, it cannot be said that there is no prima facie case against the petitioners, as such, the petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. ____________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J January 27, 2010. PV
