THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9230 of 2009 Dated : 10.11.2009 Between : Prabaharan Suganthi & others ….. Petitioner/A.1 to A.4 a n d The State of A.P. ….. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9230 OF 2009 ORDER : This criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners/A.1 to A.4 seeking to quash the proceedings in crime No.176 of 2009 of R.G.I. Airport Police Station, Shamshabad, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 419 and 420 read with Section 34 I.P.C. and Section 14 of Foreigners Act. 2) The allegation against the petitioners is of traveling on a fake passport. The main reason for suspicion by the Immigration authorities appears to be of the photographs of the petitioners on Visa and Passport not looking similar. In fact, it is not the case of the prosecution that those photographs are not of the persons concerned. 3) The photographs taken long back may not tally with the photographs taken recently and that can be a reason for the photographs on the Passport and Visa not looking similar. However, as the investigation is still pending, proceedings against the petitioners cannot be quashed. 4) But, in the circumstances of the case, it is directed that the prosecution shall invariably complete the investigation and take appropriate action within a maximum period of two months from today. 5) Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of with above direction. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 10th November, 2009 SUR
