HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5776 of 2011 Dated 15.7.2011 Between: Jasti Veeranna Choudary @ J.V.Choudary and others. …Petitioners. And: The State of A.P., represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5776 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners herein are A.3 to A.5 in C.C.No.120 of 2007 on the file of the court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nalgonda. They filed this petition to quash the said case against them. The offences alleged therein are those punishable under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471 and 201 I.P.C. 2. The offences relate to filing of certain false declarations under the A.P. General Sales Tax Act and Central Sales Tax Act to derive certain benefits wrongfully. 3. At the time of arguments, as the case is of the year 2007, the learned counsel for the petitioners was asked as to what was the stage of the case. He stated across the bar that his instructions are that the trial is completed. In other words, what follows is that evidence has been recorded by the trial Court in the matter. 4. In view of the same, it necessarily fallows that the trial court has to decide the matter on merits. In these circumstances, it would not be proper for this Court to entertain this petition and accordingly, the relief for quashing case is rejected. 5. It is represented that the petitioners are aged 56, 51 and 68 years respectively, and they have some problems to attend on every date of hearing in the trial court. In view of this and having regard to the fact that the trial is completed, the presence of the petitioners for every date of hearing from now onwards is dispensed with and they can be represented by their counsel. The trial Court shall however have the power to summon their attendance as and when it considers their presence necessary. 6. This Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. _____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 15.7.2011 *Dvs. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5776 of 2011 Dated 15.7.2011 *Dvs.
