THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.9005, 9006, 9007, 9008, 9009, 9010, 10020, 10021, 10022, 10023, 11780, 11781, 11782, 11783, 11784, 11785, 11786, 11787 and 11847 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: Since the parties in all the criminal petitions are one and the same, they are being disposed of by this common order. 2. First Petitioner-A1, represented by A-2 in Crl.P.No.9005 of 2011 approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.26 of 2010 of Gajula Mandyam Police Station, Chittoor District, whereby they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 384, 420 and 506 IPC. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that earlier the case registered in Crime No.26 of 2010 was referred as civil in nature and civil suits are pending before various courts. 4. On perusal of the entire material in all the cases, this Court is of the view that several complaints were registered by various police of Chittoor District arising out of the same transaction, which are challenged before this Court in the above criminal petitions. The first crime was registered as Crime No.26 of 2010 on the file of the Gajula Mandyam Police Station and subsequently, the other crimes were registered by various police. Hence, as the facts are one and the same and offence also arising out of the same transaction, i.e., in connection with real estate business, this Court is of the view that in view of the decision rendered by the Hon’ble Apex Court in T.T.ANTONY v. STATE OF KERALA[1], all the complainants are directed to be clubbed with Crime No.26 of 2010 of Gajula Mandyam Police Station, Chittoor District. Since number of complaints are being filed against the petitioner herein, all the subsequent complaints are directed to be treated as statements of the aggrieved persons in Crime No.26 of 2010 and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Crime Branch is directed to complete the investigation and file final report either way without making arrest of the petitioners. 5. With the above observation, all the Criminal Petitions are disposed of. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with these Criminal Petitions shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25th November 2011 Rns [1] 2001 Supreme Court Cases(Cri)1048
