HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.PETITION NO.2781 OF 2010 Date:29.03.2010 Between: C.Lokanatha Reddy …..Petitioner/Accused And: The State of AP, rep. by its PP and another …..Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU CRL.PETITION NO.2781 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner/accused approached this Court apprehending that the alleged theft property i.e., computers will be returned to the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant. The petitioner is Head of the Department of Computer Science, Dravidian University, Srinivasapuram, Kuppam. The 2nd respondent is the Registrar, Dravidian University. It is stated that the 2nd respondent filed petition before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Kuppam for return of computers and it is pending. Notice of that petition was given to the petitioner/accused. The petitioner/accused filed counter opposing the petition filed by the 2nd respondent setting out his grievance and grounds for not returning the property to the 2nd respondent. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that though the Magistrate did not yet pass any order returning the property to the 2nd respondent, the Magistrate during the course of hearing of the petition made certain observations in favour of returning the property to the 2nd respondent. It is further contended that in case the property is going to be returned to the 2nd respondent, then difficulty arises with regard to identification of the property at the time of marking of the property during trial and there is likelihood of changing the computer pieces at the time of resubmitting the property to court by the 2nd respondent during trial for the purpose of marking the same. When all these objections were raised by the petitioner in his counter filed before the Magistrate and when the Magistrate is going to consider all the objections and pass appropriate orders, this Court is of the opinion that this petition is premature. In case, the Magistrate is going to pass any order against the interest of the petitioner/accused in the pending application, the petitioner is at liberty to approach this Court for appropriate orders or directions. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J. Date:29.03.2010. Gk.
