THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.7247 OF 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.1 of 2008 on the file of the court of the learned Special Judge under Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, For Speed Trial Of Cases of Embezzlement of Scholarship Amounts in Social Welfare Department etc., Hyderabad against the petitioner herein. When the matter was listed on three occasions, this court did not grant any interim stay. As this is an old case of the year 2008, this court is not inclined to entertain this petition at this length of time for the reason that the trial in this case either must have been over by now or it may be in progress. However, Mr. D.Venkata Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that the point involved in this petition is that the Inspector of Police who conducted investigation has no jurisdiction to do the same. As per Section 17 (C) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, the said aspect can as well be brought to the notice of the court below and I am sure the court below will definitely consider the said aspect as to whether the said Inspector who conducted the investigation in this case has jurisdiction to do so or not. Accordingly this petition is dismissed. ----------------- 29.04.2010 Kvsn
