THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13150 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners/A-7, A-8 and A-9 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.356 of 2011 of Keesara Police Station, Ranga Reddy District. Heard. The complaint in this case is that the respondent Bank is providing gold loans to their customers, for which they appointed A-1 as gold loan appraiser for verification of purity of gold. While sanctioning gold loans to the customers, A-1 colluded with the petitioners herein and other accused in the case and certified the imitation jewelry as pure gold jewelry, which lead the Bank in sanctioning loan of Rs.5,59,000/-. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in this case. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 420 and 403 read with Section 34 IPC. The material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners. As such, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. However, considering the nature of the allegations and the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners and the petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required by him. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 16.12.2011 v v
