THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.5985 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings against the petitioner – A-1 in C.C. No.570 of 2003 on the file of the VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad in Crime No.98 of 2001 of Tappachabutra Police Station, Hyderabad registered for the offences under Sections 448 and 420 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that initially, police of Tappachabutra filed charge sheet in CC No.85 of 2002 against A-1 and A-2 and due to non-appearance of A-1, the case was separated and the same was numbered as CC No.570 of 2003 against A-1 and NBW was issued against him. He further submitted that CC No.85 of 2002 was ended in acquittal and nothing was deposed against A-1, that on appearance of A-1 before the trial Court, NBW was recalled and now C.C. No.570 of 2003 is pending against the petitioner – A-1. 4. This Court of the view that passing of judgment in CC No.85 of 2002 acquitting the accused therein by giving benefit of doubt, cannot be a ground to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in the present case. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner on the ground that one of the accused was acquitted by the trial Court, and the petitioner is directed to face the trial. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner – A-1 is directed to face the trial in C.C. No.570 of 2003, but his presence before the trial Court is dispensed with. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed in this Criminal Petition, shall stand closed. ______________ RAJA ELANGO, J December 01, 2011. KTL
