No.1004 of 2008 on the ﬁle of the VII Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal ﬁled this Petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 seeking to quash the proceedings of the said C.C. 2. On the basis of a complaint ﬁled by respondent No.1 - de facto complainant, a case in Crime No.100 of 2008 was registered by the P.S. Madikonda, Warangal, against the petitioner - A-10 and other accused for the oﬀences under Sections 420, 447, 423, 120-B IPC and 5 of A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982. The Police after completing the investigation laid charge into the Court of VII Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal and the said Court has taken the charge sheet on file in C.C. No.1004 of 2008 against the petitioner - A-10 and other accused for the oﬀences under Sections 420, 423, 465, 468, 447, 506 and 120-B IPC. 3. The allegations against the petitioner - A-10 and other accused are that A-1 to A-8 have executed a registered deed of Agreement of Sale-cum- General Power of Attorney duly selling surplus land to an extent of Ac.4-00 in favour of A-9; that A-9 in turn sold the same to the petitioner - A-10, and that the petitioner – A-10 having knowledge that the land in question comes under ceiling and belongs to Government, has purchased the same from A-9. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner - A-10 contends that the petitioner – A-10 is a bona ﬁde purchaser and that the petitioner – A-10 is falsely implicated. He also contends that the matter is of civil nature. 5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that the land in question forms part of the excess land surrendered by the declarants and the same is in possession of the State Government from 26.8.1987. The Police have completed investigation and laid charge sheet and the trial Court has also taken cognizance of the matter in C.C.No.1004 of 2008 and the trial schedule would be issued in due course of time. 6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, after hearing both sides, since the land in question is alleged to be the excess land surrendered by the declarants and since the trial Court has taken cognizance of the matter and the same is pending trial, this Court is of the view that it is not a ﬁt case to grant the relief as prayed for by invoking Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,1973. 7. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________ B.N. RAO NALLA,J Date:17-11-2011 Stp
