IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.8086 OF 2009 Between: K. Kavitha, W/o. K.K.V. Bharadhaja Kumar …… Petitioner AND The State of A.P., Rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another .....Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.8086 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner K. Kavitha – sole accused seeking to quash the proceedings against her in C.C. No.258 of 2009 on the file of Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Markapur for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. 2. Heard. 3. The case of the petitioner is that false case is filed against her and that she never issued the cheque in dispute and she has not opened any bank account from which the cheque in dispute was issued. Her husband K.K.V. Bharadwaja Kumar colluding with the others has opened the bank account on her name and issued the cheque in dispute, as such, she is not at all responsible for the same. She has also given a criminal complaint with regard to the cheque in dispute and investigation into the same is pending. 4. Even assuming that all the above contentions of the petitioner are true, it is not a case for quashing the proceedings as it requires to be investigated into, as it is easy for any accused to say that he never opened the account concerned and someone else has opened it. 5. In the circumstances, I see no grounds to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. 6. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. ____________________ P.
