Mane, APP, for State CORAM: SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. DATED: APRIL 22, 2008 APRIL 22, 2008 APRIL 22, 2008 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . This petition has been filed for quashing the proceedings in Sessions Case No.666/PW/2006 in which the offences alleged against the petitioner are under section 465, 467, 468, 471, 420, 120B of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Admittedly, a non-bailable warrant has been issued against the petitioner. The petitioner has not complied with any of the conditions for bail imposed by this Court and later by the Supreme Court due to which the Special Leave Petition filed by him has been dismissed. 3. An affidavit has been filed by the State indicating that besides this Bank, i.e. the State Bank : 2 : of Mysore, the petitioner and 15 others have defrauded Dena Bank as well. In such a situation, in my opinion, although the petitioner claims that he has paid off the dues to the State Bank of Mysore, it would not be appropriate to quash the proceedings. An affidavit has been filed by one Ravi R., Deputy Manager of the State Bank of Mysore claiming that the petitioner has settled the accounts with the State Bank of Mysore. There is nothing to indicate in this affidavit that the Deputy Manager was authorised to file such an affidavit. Besides this, the allegation in the complaint is that loans were sought and money was disbursed by the State Bank of Mysore, Lokhandwala branch. There is nothing on record to indicate that this Deputy Manager who is working at Khar Branch, had any authority to say anything about the complaint filed by the Lokhandwala branch of the Bank. 4. In such circumstances, I am not inclined to quash the proceedings. The petition is rejected. The petitioner shall surrender to the Sessions Court. 5. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
