THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13105 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.478 of 2009 on the file o f P.S.Subedari, Hanamkonda, Warangal District, wherein he is arrayed as the sole accused for the offences punishable under Sections 409, 420, 468 and 471 IPC. Admittedly, the petitioner already paid the service tax. As per the letter dated 31.05.2011 addressed to the Investigating Officer, the 1st respondent-complainant also requested for withdrawal of the present crime. A copy of the said letter also filed along with the petition. This Court is of the view that payment of money by the petitioner and the letter addressed by the de facto complainant for withdrawing the present case registered against the petitioner herein will not exonerate the petitioner from the criminal liability. However, considering the nature of the allegations, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation of the case without arresting the petitioner. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 15.12.2011 v v
