David Raju … Petitioner And: The State of A.P., rep. by Through Jangareddy Gudem PS & another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Criminal Petition No.11671 of 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing proceedings against the petitioner in Cr.No.13 of 2010 of Jangareddy Gudem PS. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Perused the record. 3. Based on the complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein, a case in Cr.No.13 of 2010 was registered for the offences under Sections 420, 511 read with 34 IPC. In the said complaint, it is alleged that the panchaloha idols of Sri Rama, Sri Seetha, Sri Lakshmana and Sri Anjaneyaswamy were committed theft in the temple, which was constructed in the year 1932 and the same was noticed on the morning of 23.02.2010 at 7.00 a.m. when the priest entered the temple. It is stated that the investigation is virtually completed. 4. The material papers filed by the petitioner would disclose that the investigation is almost completed. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the charge sheet is not yet filed. At this stage when the investigation is almost completed, the question of quashing further investigation in Cr.No.13 of 2010 does not arise. It is, therefore considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and quash further proceedings against the petitioner in FIR No.13 of 2010 of Jangareddy Gudem PS. 5. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ___________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 08.12.2010 bss
