HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.N. RAO NALLA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8169 OF 2008 ORDER: The petitioner, who is an accused in C.C.No.411 of 2008 on the file of the XIV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 (for short “Cr.P.C.”) seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.411 of 2008. 2. The petitioner/accused is alleged to have committed an offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. 3. None appears on behalf of the petitioner/accused. 4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that since the trial Court has taken cognisance of the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the petition under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. is not maintainable. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and also after hearing the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.411 of 2008 exercising the powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and as such the petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________ B.N. RAO NALLA,J 10.11.2011 MR HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.N. RAO NALLA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8169 OF 2008 10.11.2011 MR
