HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5706 of 2010 Dated 29.7.2011 Between: Gaddam Sudheer Kumar. …Petitioner. And: The State of A.P. represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5706 of 2010 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The prosecution case against all accused is that they brought five children from Nagaland to Tenali on a promise of free education upto 10th class, but started using them for menial services or jobs. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner who is A.1 herein argues that the petitioner is totally innocent and that no allegations are made against him. It is difficult to accept this contention. The charge sheet allegations read as a whole would show about the complicity of this petitioner also. The offences alleged in the Charge sheet are those punishable under Section 341, 417 and 374 read with 34 I.P.C. A mention is made that the child labour offences are also committed but nothing is mentioned about those provisions of law in the Charge sheet. It may be noted that the petitioner’s counsel has raised various pleas to show that the petitioners are innocent and all these pleas fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact and cannot be gone into this petition. 4. Accordingly, the relief of quashing the case is rejected. 5. It shall be open for the petitioner to apply for their discharge before the trial Court and as and when such application is made, the said Court shall dispose of that application without being influenced in any manner by the observations in this order. _________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 29.7.2011. *Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5706 of 2010 Dated 29.7.2011 *Dvs
