At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. I have heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. The learned Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions, submitted that in this case charge sheet has already been filed in the Court of the II-Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sattenapally, Guntur District and that the case is coming up for trial. In my opinion, the jurisdictional Magistrate has got ample power to alter the charges under Section 216 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Accordingly, the petitioner being the de facto complainant is permitted to make appropriate application before the jurisdictional Magistrate for alteration of charges. On such application being made, I am sure the learned Magistrate will consider and take appropriate decision thereon. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.34185 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 6th April, 2010 vrn
