THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 148 of 2010 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners/A-1 to A- 4, A-6 and A-7 under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in Crime No. 370 of 2009-10 on the file of the Prohibition & Excise Police Station, Punganur, Chittoor District, which was registered for the offence under Section 8(b)(i) of the Andhra Pradesh Prohibition Act, 1995. According to the case of the prosecution, on 06.12.2009 while conducting vehicular checking some liquor bottles were noticed in a Tata Indica car, which is being transported without any license. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the possession is within the permissible limits and, therefore, no offence is committed. The above question can as well be considered by the Investigating Officer, who shall consider the plea raised in this application and take necessary action and, therefore, it is not a case for quashing of the proceedings. But, however, the arrest of the petitioners is stayed till completion of the investigation. With the above observation, the petition is disposed of. ________________________ N.R.L.
