THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.12166 OF 2010 DATED: 07-12-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., for quashing further proceedings in Cr.No.63/2010-11 of Prohibition & Excise police station, Circle-III, Visakhapatnam. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. Petitioner is accused of the offence under Section 34 (a) of the A.P.Excise Act. According to the petitioner, himself and one S.V.Ramana, an Ex-Army personnel, were travelling on a scooter and the liquor seized from his possession was in fact purchased by the said Ramana under a bill, dated 09-11-2010, and that the police have not considered the said bill though produced at the time of interception of the scooter and registered a case against the petitioner. As per the occurrence report, the I.D. liquor was seized from the petitioner alone while he was going on a scooter carrying the said liquor bottles. It is further stated in the report that when enquired, petitioner has not produced any permit or licence. 4. Under those circumstances, the plea raised by the petitioner that the bottles were in fact purchased by the said Ramana, Ex-Army personnel, under valid bill is a matter to be considered during the course of investigation, but not at this stage. In the circumstances, it is considered that the matter requires further investigation. Hence, it is considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash further proceedings in Cr.No.63/2010-11 of Prohibition & Excise police station, Circle-III, Visakhapatnam. 5. In the result, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 07th December, 2010 Tsy
