THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13390 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner/A-4 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.302 of 2011 of Korutla P.S., Karimnagar District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 420, 468, 474 and 506-II IPC. Heard. The petitioner herein is the Panchayat Secretary of Grampanchayat, Ailapoor village of Korutla Mandal, Karimnagar District. The case of the prosecution is that having colluded with A-1, the petitioner issued forged tax payment receipt in the name of A-1 in respect of the house belonging to the father of A-1, and using that receipt as genuine, A-1 executed a gift deed in favour of A-2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the name of A-1 and his father are same and that as per the records available with the Gram Panchayat, the petitioner issued the tax payment receipt upon receiving the tax. He further submitted that the petitioner is not aware of the subsequent events and the commission of the offence by A-1. Admittedly, the investigation in the present crime is not yet completed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the investigating officer is directed to complete the investigation of the case without arresting the petitioner and file the final report either way. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition are closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated: 21-12-2011 v v
