HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10477 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-Accused Nos. 1 and 2 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C. No. 450 of 2011 on the file of IV Addl. Judicial First Class Magistrate, Warangal, registered for the offences under Sections 3, 381 IPC. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were maid servants at the respondents’ house at Las Vegas, U.S.A. ; that the occurrence of the offence is at Las Vegas, U.S.A.; there is no sanction from competent higher authorities to register a case against the petitioners-Accused Nos.1 and 2; there is a delay in lodging the complaint. Perused the records. On perusal of the record, it is clear that the stolen property was recovered from the residence of the petitioners in India. Under these circumstances, this Court is of the view that the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioners is not convincing at all and the proceedings pending before the learned trial Court cannot be interfered with at this stage. The learned counsel for the petitioners can raise all these contentions before the trial Court. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 1.11.2011 CHV
