THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL.PETITION No. 5517 of 2010. ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 14 of 2010 on the file of XI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad. The facts necessary for consideration of this criminal petition are that one Mr. Revanth Kumar borrowed an amount of Rs. 10,00,000/- (Rs ten lakhs only) from the 1st respondent and subsequently he died without making any payment. The transaction is not evidenced by any pro-note. The amount was allegedly borrowed in the year 2005 and Mr.Revanth Kumar who borrowed the amount died in the year 2010 due to ill-health. The petitioner is said to be the elder brother of the deceased Revanth Kumar. According to the 1st respondent, the petitioner promised to pay the amount borrowed by the deceased Revanth Kumar and that he only paid an amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- and the balance amount of Rs. 7,50,000/- is yet to be paid. It is alleged that when the 1st respondent demanded the petitioner to pay the balance amount, he threatened him with dire consequences. Upon perusing the allegations made by the 1st respondent/complainant and after hearing the learned Counsel for the parties, I am of the considered opinion that even if the entire version of the 1st respondent is believed, the dispute between the parties is purely civil in nature and it does not attract any criminal offence. Filing a criminal case for the commission of offences under Sections 420 and 506 IPC against the petitioner is nothing but abuse of process of law and consequently the criminal proceedings are liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No. 14 of 2010 on the file of XI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad are quashed. The criminal petition is allowed. ______________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J 21.09.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL.PETITION No. 5517 of 2010. ORDER: Dt. 21.09.2010.
