THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.2156 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed by the first accused in crime No.1248 of 2009 of Kukatpally Police Station relating to offence punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The petitioner is seeking quashing of the said F.I.R. The second respondent/de facto complainant gave report to the police. He is the purchaser of 506 square yards in Plot No.30-A in Survey No.94 (part) of Nizampet Village for Rs.45,54,000/- {Rupees forty five lakh fifty four thousand only} from the petitioner under a registered document dated 10.04.2008. It is stated that the petitioner and her associates approached the second respondent for proceeding with the sale transaction. It is further alleged that after one year of the said registered document, when the second respondent went to the plot, he found construction of compound wall in the plot. Suspecting foul play by the petitioner and her associates, the second respondent gave report to the police. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that allegations in F.I.R. simply disclose a case of civil nature and that it cannot be subject matter of a criminal case. On the other hand, the second respondent’s counsel contended that the petitioner obtained a Power of Attorney document from her predecessor, who in turn obtained another Power of Attorney document from two persons and that ultimately, it turned out to be a Government Land as per police investigation and measurements by the Revenue authorities and that investigation of the matter is in progress and that at this stage, this Court may not intercept investigation of this case. No doubt, in F.I.R., there is no allegation that it is part of Government Land. It is well settled principle of law that First Information Report is not ‘be all and end all’ of the prosecution case. It is only a document, which puts criminal law machinery into motion. Something beyond allegations in the report can be made out during investigation touching the subject matter. In that view of the matter, though superficially it appears to be a matter of civil nature, but in depth, there are allegations of fraud and cheating and execution of documents relating to Government land, which does not belong either to the petitioner or her predecessors. I see absolutely no merits in this petition. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ____________________________ (SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J) 16th April 2010 RRB
