Petitioner herein is accused No.7 in C.C.No.7 of 2008 on the file of the Court of Special Judge under Prevention of Corruption Act for Speedy Trial of Cases of Embezzlement of Scholarship Amounts in Social Welfare Department etc., at Hyderabad (trial court) and he filed this petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceedings in the said case against him. The offences alleged in the above case are those punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (for short Act) and also misappropriation of Government funds. It is seen that the allegations are also made against this petitioner disclosing the above offences. Consequently, this is not a case for interference under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the relief of quashing the proceedings is refused. 3. However Sri K.Shankara Narayana requested for dispensing with the presence of the petitioner before the trial court on every date of hearing. This is an ACB case relating to offences under the Act and in the circumstances I am not inclined to grant that relief in this petition. It shall be open for the petitioner to approach the trial court for that relief. 4. Accordingly, this criminal petition is dismissed. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 28th December, 2011 Tjmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.2064 OF 2010 DATE: 28.12.2011
