THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2114 OF 2010 Dated: 09-11-2011 Between: Lakka Venkata Krishnaiah ... PETITIONER AND The State of A.P., through SHO., I Town Police Station, Nellore, rep., by the Public Prosecutor, High Court, Hyderabad and another ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2114 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C for quashing of the proceedings in Crime No.14 of 2010 on the file of I Town Police Station, Nellore registered against the petitioner for the offences under Sections 406, 409, 468, 471 and 420 of IPC. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent who is the Senior Brach Manager of Andhra Bank, Chinna Bazar, Nellore, a case in Crime No. 14 of 2010 was registered against the petitioner. In the complaint it is alleged that one Yenna Prasad, a customer of the branch having an account informed the 2nd respondent that there is a difference of Rs.2,10,000/- in his account. When the 2nd respondent verified the account, it was found that Rs.2,10,000/- was withdrawn through several withdrawal forms through the single window counter manned by the petitioner herein. It was also found that the withdrawal forms are in the handwriting of the petitioner. When the petitioner was questioned about the same, he is said to have admitted the guilt and promised to pay back the said amount. In this criminal petition, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that inasmuch as the entire amount of Rs.2,10,000/- has been deposited by the petitioner, there is no need to proceed further against the petitioner and, therefore, the proceedings against the petitioner are liable to be quashed. It is very difficult to accept the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is that he has withdrawn an amount of Rs.2,10,000/- from the account of a customer of the bank which is nothing but criminal breach of trust and also cheating. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the 2nd respondent that when the complaint filed by one of the account holders was enquired into, it is seen that the petitioner had involved in several other offences also and he has totally misappropriated an amount of Rs.23.5 Lakhs. In view of the same, merely because the petitioner has deposited the entire amount pertaining to the case on hand, the same is not a ground to quash the further proceedings against him. If the contents of the complaint are looked into, prima facie offences are made out against the petitioner. Therefore, I do not find any ground for quashing of the proceedings against the petitioner in exercise of power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. R.
