HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.PETITION NO.3705 OF 2010 Date:30.04.2010 Between: Karra Vijender Reddy …..Petitioner And: State through Spl. PP, C.B.I., Hyderabad. …..Respondent. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.PETITION NO.3705 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is the accused No.1 (A-1) in C.C.No.2 of 2010 (Old C.C.No.41 of 2005) on the file of Special Judge for C.B.I cases, Hyderabad relating to offences punishable under Sections 201, 213, 217, 218, 120B, 193 IPC and Sections 7, 12, 13(2)/13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. This case is an off-shoot of Stamps Scam of AKL Telgi. The petitioner was then working as Inspector of Police. Some of the allegations against the petitioners are that he manipulated records and prepared false documents showing arrest of AKL Telgi in Hotel Anmol Residency, Hyderabad on 13.08.1999 whereas Telgi was apprehended on 7.8.1999 at Bangalore and was brought to Hyderabad on 8.8.1999 and that a false Panchanama was prepared in respect of arrest and seizure proceedings and that he had deliberately favoured and facilitated Telgi by accommodating him in rest room of Sub Inspector of Police in the police station and also in nearby hotel during his custody with connivance of Escort party and facilitated Telgi to continue his illegal activities even after his arrest and while in custody by receiving substantially huge amounts as illegal gratification for showing undue official favour in the case. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that it is the petitioner who arrested AKL Telgi in the first instance and recovered fake stamps worth Rs.3.2 crores and that on arrest and seizure Panchanamas prepared by the petitioner, C.B.I secured conviction against AKL Telgi in another case on the file of the lower court. It is further contended that after arrest of Telgi, the then Deputy Commissioner of Police and the then Commissioner of Police were supervising the case and were interrogating AKL Telgi and that the petitioner was only following instructions of his superior officers. It is further contended that case against the petitioner as A-17 in another case filed by CBI was quashed by this Court. The question whether allegations against the petitioner in the present case are false or improbable etc., is one of fact. This Court in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C cannot go into and decide the same. It is a matter for trial before the lower court during which both the parties will have opportunity to lead their respective evidence and make submissions on that evidence. Main grievance of the petitioner in this petition is that originally charge sheet was filed against him in the Court of Principal Sessions Judge for S.P.E. & A.C.B Cases, Hyderabad and after CBI took over investigation and filed Principal charge sheet, the case was transferred to the Special Judge for C.B.I cases as C.C.No.41 of 2005 and that the case is now renumbered as C.C.No.2 of 2010 and that there is no likelihood of the case being taken up for trial in the lower court in the near future and it is causing utmost hardship for him and his career. There are only 26 witnesses cited in this case. If the case is taken up for trial, then it can be easily completed within a period of six months. It is stated that the present Presiding Officer of the lower court is going to retire from service on attaining age of Superannuation by the end of next month. Therefore, a new Judge has to be posted in that Court after reopening of courts after summer vacation. In the circumstances, ends of justice in this case would be met in case the lower court is directed to dispose of the case by the end of this year. In the result, the petition is dismissed. But, however, the lower court is directed to dispose of C.C.No.2 of 2010 (Old C.C.No.41 of 2005) as expeditiously as possible and preferably by the end of December, 2010 after taking note of the fact that the charge sheet in this case was initially filed in the year 2004. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU,J.
