THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 5533 of 2011 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in S.C.No.518 of 2003 on the file of the I Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad for the offences under Section 302 read with Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”). The petitioner herein is accused No.9. He said to be originally an accused in Sessions Case No.518 of 2003, after the case was committed to the Court of Sessions, he absconded and thereafter non- bailable warrants were pending against him. Now taking advantage of the acquittal of the other accused, the present application is filed to quash the proceedings. It is not known as to what is the nature of the evidence available against the petitioner and the other accused. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the plea of the accused for quashing of the proceedings does not arise. The exercise of the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. are only meant for those people, who submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts and not to those who avoid the jurisdiction of the Courts. Therefore, there are no bona fides in the petition and if the petitioner really feels that there is no case, he can plead for discharge before the Sessions Court. So far as the recalling of non-bailable warrants are also concerned, the petitioner can move a petition before the concerned Sessions Court. In view of the above circumstances, this Court is inclined to cancel the non-bailable warrants against the petitioner for obvious reasons that the accused-petitioner has absconded knowing well that the case is pending in a serious offence. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 12-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
