THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6154 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No. 15 of 2007 on the file of the C.I.D. Police Station, Hyderabad, wherein the petitioner was arrayed as Accused No.1 for the offences punishable under Sections 419, 468 of I.P.C. and 8 & 10 of A.P. Public Exams (Prevention of Malpractices and Unfair Means) Act, 1997. Heard. The incident occurred in the year 2007. Admittedly, there is no stay in the matter and the respondent-police have also arrested the petitioner. Even though three years have elapsed since the registration of the Crime, the respondent police are not in a position to give any reasons for non- completion of investigation and non-filing of charge sheet. Considering the same, the respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation of the case as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from today, failing which the proceedings initiated against the petitioner in Crime No. 15 of 2007 on the file of C.I.D. Police Station, Hyderabad shall stand closed. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated :20th October, 2011 pnb
