IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9563 OF 2009 Between: Rajesh Kumar Agarwal, S/o. Roshan Lal Agarwal ……Petitioner – accused AND The State of A.P. Rep. by the Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another .....Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.9563 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner Rajesh Kumar Agarwal, accused, seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C. No.36 of 2007 on the file of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, City Civil Court, Secunderabad filed by the complainant K. Madhava Chary, respondent No.2 herein, for the offence punishable under Section 304-A IPC. 2. Heard. 3. The C.C. is of 2007 and this petition for quashing the same is filed now in 2009. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, I am not inclined to entertain this petition at this belated stage, as in case there was really no prima facie case against the petitioner, he ought to have approached this Court at the initial stage itself. 4. However, in view of the nature of offence and the evidence on record, it is directed that the trial Court shall dispose of the C.C. as expeditiously as possibly, in any case not later than three (3) months from today. 5. With the above directions, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. ____________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J November 16, 2009. PV
