IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3981 of 2009 DATE:13.08.2010 Between: Kalvakuntla Vidyasagara Rao and others …… Petitioners And: The State of A.P. rep. by its Public Prosecutor, and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3981 of 2009 ORDER : The petitioners/A-1 to A-7 and the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant landed in this criminal litigation in view of decision of the II Additional District Judge, Rangareddy District by way of judgment dated 03.06.2008 passed in O.P. No.695 of 2003. Subject matter of this complaint is resolutions dated 04.06.2002, 20.07.2002 and 10.08.2002 marked as Exs.A-6 to A-8 in O.P.No.695 of 2003. The II Additional District Judge in that judgment observed that those three resolutions of the society are “false and got up purposely to dethrone the petitioner from presidentship of the 1st respondent- society”. In view of the said finding of the civil Court, the 2nd respondent launched this case against the petitioners by filing private complaint before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Metpally who forwarded the same to the police for investigation under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. The police registered the case for offences punishable under Sections 418, 419, 420/149 I.P.C. Though the above sections of law are not appropriate penal sections of law which attract to facts of this case, allegations in the complaint do disclose offences punishable under I.P.C. Simply because the dispute between the parties is a civil dispute, the parties cannot plead that false and created documents do not attract criminal liability. It is not observation of the II Additional District Judge, Rangareddy District that the resolutions Exs.A-6 to A-8 in O.P. No.695 of 2003 were created for the purpose of that petition. The observations are to the affect that they were created for dethroning the petitioner therein from presidentship. Therefore, Section 195 Cr.P.C has no role to play in this matter. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to interfere with investigation of this case by the police. 3) Hence, the petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 13, 2010 KSH
