THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 5396 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. As can be seen from the charge sheet, there is prima facie material to show that some stolen property was recovered from the possession of the accused and in fact the petitioner is said to have been involved in another offence under Section 380 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”) of Nallakunta Police Station. The innocence pleaded by the accused cannot be considered at this stage. Furthermore, the case in C.C.No.728 of 2009 has been pending since 2009 and from the narration of the facts the petitioner is aware of the same but kept quiet for so long to seek the redressal, if any, for quashing of the proceedings. There is prima facie material and the petitioner, if advised, can raise the objections at the time of framing of the charge. Therefore, I do not find any merits to exercise the power under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 to quash the above proceedings. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 07-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
