THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6960 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by petitioners – Accused Nos.1 and 2 seeking to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.97 of 2010 of Narayanpet Police Station, Mahabubnagar District, registered for the offence punishable under section 379 IPC, Section 25/35(1) of WALTA ct and Section 21(1) read with 6 of A.P.Mines and Minerals (Regulation and development) Act, 1957. The case of the prosecution is that on 26.06.2009 at about 3.00p.m. when the complainant and his staff were on vehicle checking duty, they found one lorry bearing No.AP 22 F 8898 transporting sand without valid permission/license to Narayanpet Mandal as the demand for sand is more in that place. Transporting sand without valid permission is an offence. Hence, police registered a case in Cr.No.97 of 2010 as referred above. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are having a valid permit to transport the sand and the permit is also with the petitioners. But, it is not evident from the record whether the permit was shown to the Investigating Officer at the time of registration of FIR. In any event, this Court is not inclined to go into genuineness of the allegations against the petitioners herein. Hence, the petitioners are directed to approach the concerned Investigating Officer and produce the documents, which are in their favour to prove that they are entitled to transport the sand. On such production, the Investigating Officer can verify the same and file charge sheet in accordance with law either way. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 19th July 2010 Rns
