THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 12468 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner – A2 approached this court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.121 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Vayalpad, Chittoor District, whereby he is arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 406 and 506 IPC read with 34 of IPC. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is of instigating the first accused in cheating the complainant and some other persons to a tune of Rs.2,91,400/-. The first accused in the above C.C. is the 2nd leader in Ramya Mahila Mandali SHG Group. The said group members availed loan in the year 2009 from Sapthagiri Grameena Bank to a tune of Rs.3,35,000/-, payable in monthly instalments. After that every month they are paying the instalment amount to A1, as he is having acquaintance with bank transactions, and A1 also promised them that he will deposit the said amount into bank. But after completion of 25 months, when the complainant and other members of the above said group approached the bank authorities for obtaining a new loan, they came to know that A1 had not paid the instalment amount collected from them and enjoyed the same for his gain at the instance of A2, the petitioner herein. Hence the complaint. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no way concerned with the transaction between A1 and the de facto complainant and he is falsely implicated in the above case. 4. This court perused the record and heard the arguments. Admittedly, the investigation in this matter is not completed. There are some allegations against the petitioner and other accused. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of offence and in view of the submissions made by the counsel, the respondent-police are hereby directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioner – A2 and file final report either way. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 7th December 2011 Rns
