THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S.APPA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6051 of 2008 The present Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (for short Cr.P.C.) requesting the Court to quashing the proceedings in Crime No.30 of 2008 on the file of Navipet Police Station, Nizamabad District. 2. The counsel appearing for the petitioner urged that the petitioner is a president of a registered society and to enlighten the public in the village about the schemes of the Government, he collected some money through the Sarpanch and he has no intention to defraud the villagers and the present complaint is premature one without any tangible evidence. He further urged that the so-called amounts were collected through the Sarpanch of the village and the same were not misappropriated by the petitioner. 3. The learned Public Prosecutor per contra urged that the trial may be proceeded with, so that the evidence on record will establish the grievance of the ryots, who parted with money to the petitioner will be known and quashing of the proceedings at this stage will hamper the investigation and in otherwise injustice to the persons, who parted with money. 4. Now, the point for consideration is: Whether there are any grounds to quash the proceedings in Crime No.30 of 2008 on the file of Navipet Police Station, Nizamabad District ? P O I N T: 5. The First Information Report was registered basing on the report filed by one K.Satyanarayana Goud, S/o Rama Goud, Binola Village, Navipet Mandal. As per the recitals in the complaint, a letter was sent by village Sarpanch that one V.Narayana will educating the people for availment of the schemes introduced by the Government and in that connection many of the villagers have paid Rs.500/- each to the said V.Narayana. Later, they realised that there were no such schemes introduced by the Government and that the indulgence of V.Narayana is not necessary for the Government to educate the people. Basing on the complaint of the villagers, police registered the crime under Section 420 IPC. Admittedly, an amount of Rs.23,000/- is collected from the villagers at the rate of Rs.500/- each, but no material was supplied to them as promised. Aggrieved party, who learnt afterwards about the false promise made by the petitioner, lodged complaint before the police. Unless there is thorough investigation, it is premature to give any finding. Therefore, I see no grounds to quash the proceedings in Crime No.30 of 2008 of Navipet Police Station, Nizamabad District. 6. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ____________________ K.S.APPA RAO, J 22nd March, 2011 KSP
