THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.3186, 3189 and 3298 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: Petitioner in all these three petitions is same. He filed Criminal Petition No.3298 of 2011 under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C) to quash the criminal case i.e. S.C.No.59 of 2011 on the file of the Court of the Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Chittoor District which has been registered for the offences punishable under Sections 353, 420 and 489-B & C IPC. 2. Similarly he filed Criminal Petition No.3186 of 2011 and Criminal Petition No.3189 of 2011 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the criminal cases i.e. C.C.No.40 of 1999 and C.C.No.198 of 2010 on the file of the Court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Palamaner, Chittoor District. These two cases have been registered against him for the offence punishable under Section 420 r/w 511 IPC. 3. In the first case the charges relate to dealing with counterfeit currency notes and other offences, whereas the other two criminal cases filed in the Court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Palamner, the offences relate to cheating. It is not proper to go into the merits of those matters in these petitions. It would be sufficient to note that the concerned police after carrying out their investigation have charge sheeted the petitioner in all these three cases. It should also be noted here that in the said S.C.No.59 of 2011 the learned Sessions Judge, Chittoor has also rejected the request of the petitioner for anticipatory bail and it is reported that in all the three cases non- bailable warrants are pending against the petitioner. The various contentions raised by the petitioner’s counsel would show that all of them would fall in the realm of disputed questions of fact which can be decided only on evidence in the said cases. In the above circumstances I am unable to agree with the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner for quashing the said cases. 4. In the above circumstances all these three Criminal Petitions are dismissed. It shall be open for the petitioner to surrender before the concerned courts as non-bailalble warrants are pending against him and move applications for bail and the said courts may pass appropriate orders thereon. _______________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J. 19th April 2011 CVRK
