IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE 26th DAY OF OCTOBER, 2009 CRIMINAL PETITION No.339 of 2007 Between: Alla Sanjeeva Reddy and others ….PETITIONER(S) a n d The State of A.P., through Nagarkurnool P.S., Mahabubnagar District, rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court, Hyderabad and another ….RESPONDENT(S) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.339 of 2007 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners to quash the proceedings against them in P.R.C.No.89 of 2005 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nagarkurnool, arising out of Crime No.124 of Nagarkurnool Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Section 420 IPC and Section 5 of Protection of Depositors Act. 2. Heard. 3. The allegation against the petitioners is of duping several people including the de facto complainant to lakhs of rupees. But, according to the prosecution, it is in crores of rupees. It is the contention of the petitioners that after the de facto complainant has given the complaint, they have compensated her by registering a site in her favour in lieu of the amount payable to her and that she has withdrawn the complaint and so the proceedings against them may be quashed. 4. A perusal of the charge sheet makes it clear that there are several victims and the amount involved in the said deception is very substantial. To decide the questions in issue, factual position and other material is required. At this stage, the questions of fact cannot be gone into and it cannot be said that there is no prima facie case and so I see absolutely no merits in this petition. 5. The Criminal Petition is accordingly, dismissed. ________________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 26th October 2009 CVRK
