THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.761 OF 2008 DATED 3rd MARCH, 2011. BETWEEN : I.Geetha Reddy .. Petitioner-A.1 and 1) K.Veera Reddy 2) The State of A.P. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.761 OF 2008 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.58 of 2007 on the file of the X Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad. Heard. Petitioner is arrayed as A.1 in this case. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that she being the wife of A.2, who is the Managing Director of the Company, the present complaint is also filed against her. Even though it is stated in the complaint that the petitioner is the Director of the Company, there is nothing to suggest that the petitioner is actively participated in the day- to-day affairs of the Company. After hearing the arguments and perusing the material on record, it is evident from the complaint that A.2, who is the Managing Director of the Company, availed loan from the complainant herein and in the complaint it is clearly mentioned that A.2 is the person who requested the complainant to lend the loan of Rs.10 lakhs and the cheques were also signed by the petitioner’s husband i.e. A.2 only. In the absence of any allegations mentioned in the complaint and when the petitioner is not the signatory to the instruments concerned, this Court is of the view that there is no need to prosecute the petitioner further. Hence, the further proceedings in C.C.No.58 of 2007 on the file of the X Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad, are hereby quashed only against the present petitioner. In any event, the trial Court is at liberty to proceed further against the other accused and dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible. With above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 03.03.2011 sur
