THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2176 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking quashing of further proceedings against the petitioners-accused in C.C.No.20 of 2003 on the file of the learned I Additional District Judge-cum-Metropolitan Special Judge, Visakhapatnam. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the record. 3. 1st respondent herein filed a private complaint against the petitioners-accused alleging offences under Sections 195 to 199 Cr.P.C. r/w Section 5 of the A.P.Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishment Act, 1999. It is stated that on 17.11.2003, the learned Special Judge issued non-bailable warrant against the 2nd petitioner holding that the service of summons on the father of father of the 2nd petitioner was sufficient and in spite of such service of summons 2nd petitioner has not appeared before the Court. It is further stated that at that time the petitioner was out of country and the summons were served on the father of the 2nd petitioner, but not the grand father. Even otherwise, admittedly, there was no service of summons on the 2nd petitioner. The issuance of non-bailable warrant against the 2nd petitioner under those circumstances is therefore considered unsustainable and the same is accordingly directed to be recalled. 2nd petitioner is however directed to appear before the learned Metropolitan Special Judge, Visakhapatnam on 29.12.2011 and seek appropriate orders for his regular appearance before the Court. 4. Having regard to the nature of the offences alleged, it is considered there are no valid or justifiable grounds to quash further proceedings in C.C.No.20 of 2003 by invoking the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 5. In the result, Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 15th December, 2011. Tsy
