HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO CrL.P.M.P.No.8894 of 2013 and CRIMINAL PETITION No.3727 OF 2009 C O M M O N - O R D E R Crl.P.M.P.No.8894 of 2013 is filed seeking to restore Criminal Petition No.3727 of 2009 to its file and pass such other order. This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in Crime No.94 of 2009 of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the first respondent-State. The brief facts of the case are that A1-Chandra Sekhar Sristi and Ms. Madhavi, who are husband and wife, started a software company by name M/s. Zen Cybertech India Limited and are attracting the candidates having qualifications of B.Tech, M.C.A, M.Sc, B.A, B.Com and B.Sc, by assuring them to issue appointment orders after taking lakhs of rupees as deposit. After collecting huge amounts from various candidates, they stated that since there were no projects and cash flow, they are not in a position to pay the salaries to them. It is further alleged that one Rowdy Sheeter by name Jawad Alvi alias Jabbar, oftenly used to visit the office and threaten the employees, who are pressing for payment of salaries. A perusal of the entire material shows that after filing of the criminal petition by the petitioner, the learned Single Judge of this Court v id e order dated 09.06.2009 in Crl.P.M.P.No.3353 of 2009, stayed arrest of the petitioner and subsequently on 19.08.2010, the criminal petition was dismissed for non-prosecution. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that a news item has been published that the police made a press statement that the petitioner also involved in commission of the aforesaid offences along with A1 and A2 and that they are going to arrest him. Thus, it seems that press statement made by the police is the basis for filing this criminal petition. In the above facts and circumstances, I am of the view that unless the petitioner is made an accused in this crime, he cannot invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C to quash the First Information Report. Further, since the Criminal Petition itself is not maintainable, no purpose would be served in restoring the same, which is dismissed for non-prosecution. Accordingly, Crl.P.M.P.No.8894 of 2013 is dismissed. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 13.09.2013 sr
