HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3041 OF 2010 Date: 08.04.2010 Between: A. Sesagiri Rao ……Petitioner And: The State of A.P., rep. by its PP and another ……Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3041 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner/A-1 is accused of offences punishable under Sections 420, 468, 471 IPC in Crime No.226 of 1998 of Central Crime Station (Detective Department), Hyderabad. His grievance is that the police are not filing charge sheet against him for more than 12 years and that it amounts to denial of dignified life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Previously the police filed C.C.No.187 of 1999 in the same crime against A-2, A-3 and A-5 and trial was conducted against them. After trial, A- 5 was found guilty of offences under Sections 420, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC and A-2 was found guilty of offences under Sections 420 and 471 IPC and accordingly sentences of imprisonment and fine were passed against them. It is stated that A-1 who was working as Attender was produced by execution of production warrant on 28.08.2001 in the present crime and he was in judicial custody till 03.09.2001. The case pertains to defalcation of amounts in South Central Railway by way of forgery of cheques. The Additional Public Prosecutor on instructions stated that originally charge sheet could not be laid against A-1 and A-4 because they were absconding in the beginning and that still A-4 is absconding. The Additional Public Prosecutor further stated that the police are going to file charge sheet as against the petitioner/A-1 even though A-4 is not yet apprehended. In view of the statement of the police through the Additional Public Prosecutor about their intention to file charge sheet against A-1 in the near future, this petition does not survive for consideration. It is a case relating to defalcation of amounts of Rs.9,50,000/- and Rs.14,16,000/-. It is not trivial offence. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Date:08.04.2010. Gk.
