Heard both sides. Perused the record. 3. The Manager, Nalgonda District Cooperative Bank, G.Gowraram branch gave a complaint to the police against the petitioner, who was then working as a Chief Executive Oﬃcer of PACS, Gowraram village, wherein it was alleged that the petitioner has misappropriated society funds to an extent of 9.14 lakhs and that he was kept under suspension on 19.10.2009, but he refused to hand over charge in spite of repeated reminders and therefore, the oﬃce was locked by the authorities but the petitioner broke open the locks and put up separate locks of his own and thereby prevented the oﬃcial transactions. It is further alleged that on 17.12.2009, in the presence of the Nodal Oﬃcer and the Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer, the locks put up by the petitioner have been broken open and it was found that all the records, cash books, passbooks of the ryots, registers, vouchers, ﬁles were all found removed. As also 25 bags of Zinc. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the President of the Society has given a No Due Certiﬁcate on 01.04.2010, copy of which is ﬁled, to the eﬀect that the petitioner has conducted the aﬀairs of the Society in a proper and regular manner and no illegalities or irregularities have taken place. 5. Having regard to the serious allegations made in the complaint against the petitioner, the matter requires thorough investigation for initiating necessary action against the petitioner. If the allegations are found to be true and correct, it is also necessary for the Investigating Oﬃcer to investigate the role of the President of PACS, G.Gowraram, if any, who is said to have given No Due Certiﬁcate, dated 01.04.2010, in favour of the petitioner and initiate necessary action against him as well, if found involved in the alleged misappropriation of funds and other irregularities. 6. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has submitted that another case in Cr.No.259 of 2009 of Nalgonda II Town police station was also registered against the petitioner for a similar offence. 7. In the circumstances, having regard to the gravity of the nature of the oﬀence alleged and speciﬁc allegations made against the petitioner, prima facie attracting the ingredients of the oﬀence, it is considered not a ﬁt case at all to quash further proceedings against the petitioner, invoking the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 8. In the result, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 01st December, 2011. Tsy
