HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8668 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.2, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the order, dated 22.07.2011, made in Spl.S.C.No.1 of 2011 on the file of the IV Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad. Briefly, the facts are that the Deputy Superintendent of Police, National Investigation Agency, Hyderabad, has submitted a Memo dated 22.7.2011 before the IV Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge- cum-Special Court for NIA Cases, Hyderabad, with a request to forward the material objects in connection with Spl.S.C.No.1 of 2011 to the Director, CFSL, Ramanthapur, Hyderabad for further analysis. Basing on the said Memo, the learned Sessions Judge passed an order, dated 22.07.2011, that the material objects in connection with Spl.S.C.No.1 of 2011 be forwarded to C.F.S.L., Ramanthapur, Hyderabad for further analysis and report. The same is questioned in this criminal petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that without issuing any notice and not affording any opportunity to the petitioner to file his objections, the learned Sessions Judge passed the impugned order and, after filing charge sheet and also supplementary charge sheet, any investigation by the Investigation Agency will only be a re-investigation of the matter but not further investigation. He further submitted that when the recovered properties are sent to C.F.S.L., Ramanthapur, Hyderabad, the said Authority may be permitted to verify whether the seals are intact and to prepare a panchanama to that effect. Per contra, the learned Public Prosecutor submitted that even though the National Investigation Agency had filed final report against A.6, it is conducting further investigation into the case against the other absconding accused, this means, the investigation is still going on and it is not completed and that the recovered properties have already been sent to CFSL, Ramanathapur, Hyderabad for analysis and report. Considering the rival submissions and in the facts and circumstances of the case, in order to protect the rights of the petitioner herein, the Director, Central Forensic Science Laboratories, Ramanthapur, Hyderabad, is hereby directed to verify whether the seals are intact, prior to opening of the boxes, to make an entry regarding the same and, to proceed with the analysis. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of and miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd September, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.8668 of 2011 (Disposed of) 23rd September, 2011 cbs
