THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4364 of 2011 Date: 13.06.2011 Between: Puttaraju …..Petitioner And The State of A.P., rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another. …..Respondents THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4364 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner is shown as A-3 in Crime No.112 of 2011 of I Town Police Station, Nalgonda. The allegation is that A-1 and A-2 in the case were arrested with a stock of 1095 gelatine sticks, 100 ordinary detonators and 13 fuse wire bundles when they were transporting in an Indica car. It is stated that when they were interrogated, both A-1 and A- 2 disclosed the name of A-3, i.e., the petitioner herein as they purchased above material from him. A case is registered for offences punishable under Section 5 of the Explosives Substances Act, 1925 and also Section 9(B) of Explosives Act, 1984. It is true that allegations in the F.I.R. do not show how Section 5 of the Explosives Substances Act, 1925 is attracted and that may but definitely the allegations do disclose offence under the Explosives Act, 1984 which deals with regulation of manufacture and trade in explosives. 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner says that the name of this petitioner is roped into the matter only on the confession of A-1 and A-2 and that is illegal and therefore, the F.I.R. should be quashed. May be the confession of A-1 and A-2 may not be relevant against this petitioner, but that pertains to the trial in which an objection can be taken. The investigation is pending. A huge quantity of explosives is involved in this case. In these circumstances, I regret that I am unable to agree with the contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner and I am of the opinion that investigation should go on to find out the complicity of all, if any and also other offences alleged to have been committed. 3. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 13th June, 2011.
