THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5844 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by I.A.Srinivas Rao - petitioner – accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.95 of 2008 on the file of the III Additional Magistrate Court, Tirupathi, arising out of Crime No.100 of 1999 of CCS Police Station, Chittoor District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 409, 420, 477(A) & 120(B) of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The allegation against the petitioner, who is working as Junior Assistant in Government Hospital, Tirupati, is of obtaining DDs and Banker Cheque for huge amount than the amount actually sanctioned, by correcting the medical bills. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the offence took place somewhere in 1999 and thereafter, FIR was closed on 11.06.2001 as per the administrative orders of the High Court and again charge sheet was filed on 20.02.2008. 4. The administrative order of the High Court under which the FIR was closed is not available and the learned counsel reports that there is a stamp on the FIR referring the administrative order of the High Court. There is no possibility of any FIR being closed on administrative side by the High Court in an offence like this. Obviously, the above contention is incorrect. In any case, there is no material to show that an administrative order has been passed as contended. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner earlier took time for producing authorities contending that in the present circumstances, the prosecution cannot proceed. But the citations relied on by the learned counsel for the petitioner in ABDUL REHMAN ANTULAY v. R.S.NAYAK AND ANOTHER[1] and P.RAMACHANDRA RAO v. STATE OF KARNATAKA[2] do not come to his rescue. 6. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor contended that the petitioner-accused is habituated to commit such offences that subsequent to the offence under reference, he has committed similar offences again. 7. Considering all the circumstances, there are absolutely no grounds to quash the proceedings and thereby the Criminal Petition fails and the same is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ P.
