IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE NINTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9457 OF 2009 Between: M. Rami Reddy, S/o. Malla Reddy ……Petitioner – Accused AND The State of A.P., through the Station House Officer, Hayathnagar Police Station, Cyberabad, Rep. by the Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabda & another .....Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9457 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner N. Rami Reddy, accused, seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C. No.459 of 2008 on the file of VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, Hayathnagar, filed by the complainant Gadiraju Nagaraj, respondent No.2 herein, for the offences punishable under Sections 406 & 420 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. The C.C. is of 2008. No doubt, the dispute is predominantly civil in nature, but the grievance of the complainant is that the petitioner, having collected substantial part of the sale consideration towards sale of the property in dispute, has disappeared from the place of his official business and has not received the balance sale consideration and did not register the property in his favour. 4. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the complainant himself is a defaulter, as he did not pay the balance sale consideration and did not get the property registered on his name. 5. The above rival contentions of the parties are questions of fact that can be decided during the trial. Hence, it is not at all a fit case for quashing the impugned proceedings against the petitioner, as such, the petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. ____________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J November 19, 2009. PV
