THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1365 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioner – Accused No.2 seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.159 of 2010 on the file of the Principal Special Judge for SPE & ACB cases at Hyderabad. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that mere abatement is not an offence and the petitioner is not a government servant. On perusal of the charge sheet, it reveals some prima facie allegation against the petitioner herein. Hence, this court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. In any event, the presence of the petitioner before the trial court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 14th February 2011, Rns.
