THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11161 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner-Accused No.2 filed the present criminal petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in O.R. No. 91/2011-12 of Kadapa Range for the offences punishable under Sections 20(1)(c)(iii), (iv) and (x) and Section 29 of A.P. Forest Act, 1967; Rule (3) of A.P. Red Sanders and Sandalwood Transit Rules, 1969 and Section 378 read with Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that basing on the confessional statement of a co-accused in the case, the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case and he has nothing to do with the alleged offences. He, therefore, prayed for quashing of the proceedings initiated against him. Heard and perused the material on record. Considering the nature of the allegations made against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings initiated against the petitioner, at this stage. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 11th November, 2011 pnb
