THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PEITION No.5375 OF 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the further proceedings against the petitioner in C.C.No.123 of 2009 on the file of the learned Special Judicial Magistrate of First Class for Excise Cases, Warangal. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the records. 3. The main ground on which quashing of the proceedings is sought is that the Sub Inspector of police, who filed the charge sheet, is not competent to investigate the offence under Section 36 of the A.P.Excise Act ( for brevity, ‘the Act’) and file a charge sheet. It is not disputed that previously A1, A2, A4 and A5 in the same case filed Criminal Petition No.5598 of 2009 and this Court by order, dated 28.01.2011, allowed the said petition and quashed further proceedings against them on the ground that a police officer, much less Inspector of Police, Matwada Circle and Sub Inspector of Police, Intehezar police station have no jurisdiction to investigate the offence punishable under Section 36 of the Act and to file a charge sheet and the investigation made by them and the charge sheet filed are without jurisdiction. The present petition is filed by A3 in the same case. 4. In view o the earlier orders of this Court in Crl.P.No.5598 of 2009, dated 28.01.2011, it is held that further proceedings against the petitioner-A3 in C.C.No.123 of 2009 are liable to be quashed for the same reasons as those mentioned in the said order, dated 28.01.2011. Accordingly, further proceedings against the petitioner are quashed. 5. In the result, Criminal Petition is allowed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 14th July, 2011. Tsy
