THE HONBLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.11860 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash further proceedings against the petitioner in CC.No.188 of 2007 on the file of III Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Kakinada. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor-1st respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. Petitioner-accused is facing prosecution for the offences under Sections 138 and 420 IPC in C.C.No.188 of 2007. The petitioner seeks quashing of further proceedings in C.C.No.188 of 2007 on the ground that in connected civil suit O.S.No.99 of 2009 the report of the hand-writing expert is awaited and the trial of the criminal case may await till receipt of report of the hand writing expert. 4. The ground urged by the leaned counsel for the petitioner is not at all justifiable. The inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C cannot be invoked for quashing further proceedings in a criminal case simply because of pendency of civil suit and awaiting report of the expert opinion. 8. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J rkk Dated: 26-11-2010
