THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE T.SUNIL CHOWDARY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2606 of 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings against the petitioners/A.1 and A.2 in Crime No.70 of 2010 of Nunna Police Station, Vijayawada City registered for the offence under Section 420 I.P.C. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the second respondent converted the civil litigation into criminal proceedings. The learned counsel for the second respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the allegations made in the complaint are prima facie sufficient to investigate into the matter. A perusal of the record reveals that the petitioners are accused Nos.1 and 2 and the second respondent is the de facto complainant in Crime No.70 of 2010. As per the allegations made in the complaint, the petitioners, who are the dealers of the KCP Cement Company, supplied the spurious cement to the second respondent, due to which, the second respondent incurred loss. While deciding the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the Court has to take into consideration the allegations made in the complaint only. The Court is not be justified in embarking upon an enquiry as to probability, reliability or genuineness of the allegations made in the complaint at the initial stage of investigation. The material placed before the Court is prima facie sufficient to investigate into the matter in order to ascertain the truthfulness or otherwise of the allegations made in the complaint. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and also the principles enunciated by the Supreme Court in R.P.Kapoor v. State of Punjab [1] and State of Haryana v. Bhajanlal [2], I am of the view that it is not a fit case to quash the proceedings at the initial stage of the investigation. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the concerned Station House Officer may be directed not to arrest the petitioners till completion of the investigation. A perusal of the record reveals that this Court granted interim stay on 19.03.2010 and the same has been in force till date. In view of the earlier orders passed by this Court and also the nature of the allegations made against the petitioners, the Station House Officer, Nunna is hereby directed not to arrest the petitioners/A.1 and A.2 in Crime No.70 of 2010 till completion of the investigation or filing of the report. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ________________________ T.SUNIL CHOWDARY, J Date: 24.11.2014 [1] AIR 1960 SC 866 [2] AIR 1992 SC 604
