HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6144 of 2011 ORDER:- Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. Petitioner is stated to be A-2 in Crime No.944 of 2011 of L.B. Nagar Law and Order Police Station. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 420 and 406 IPC. The de facto complainant’s version is that he gave a demand draft for Rs.5,76,000/- to A-1 Kiran Kumar Reddy for purchasing cement from Bharathi Cements and that the said Kiran Kumar Reddy and this petitioner obtained cement and used it for their purposes without supplying it to him. The matter is still pending investigation. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that A-2 is totally innocent and the FIR shows that the demand draft was given to A-1 and therefore this petitioner who is A-2 should be exonerated. There is no force in this contention. The FIR allegations read that this petitioner and as well as A-1 committed the mischief. In these circumstances the police have to decide about the complicity of this petitioner also. Hence the relief for quashing the FIR is rejected. 4. The petitioner’s counsel says that the petitioner is a business man leading a respectable life. In the circumstances the police may keep in view Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as it stands now before taking a decision about his arrest. 5. This petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 22nd July 2011 CVRK
