SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.10003 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner P. Sreenivasulu @ Seenappa, accused No.10, seeking to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.140of2009 of Uravakonda Polie Station, Anantapur District. 2. The offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 302 IPC. 3. Heard. 4 . Initially, the case was of a man missing and subsequently body of the deceased was found and the investigation revealed that at the instance of the petitioner, the deceased was murdered. 5. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no material against the petitioner to show that the petitioner is involved in the offence except the confessional statements of the other accused. 6. Still, as the main allegation is against the petitioner and the offence alleged is under Section 302 IPC, which is a serious one, it is not a case where the proceedings can be quashed straight away. Thus, I see no ground to entertain this petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 7. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to move for the appropriate remedies under Section 438 or Sections 437 & 439 Cr.P.C. ____________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J December 8, 2009. PV
