THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 11779 of 2010 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short “Cr.P.C.”) to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.390 of 2007 on the file of the IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Kukatpalli at Miyapur, Ranga Reddy District, whereunder the accused were charged for the offence under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”) with regard to the transactions of landed property. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the matter is of a civil nature and there is no criminal liability. It is admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the charges have already been framed against the petitioners. Therefore, the petitioners have not availed the opportunity at that time to say that the charges are untenable. Therefore, at this stage, the exercise of the power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. does not arise for consideration. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the lower Court is directed to expeditiously dispose of the case within six months. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 30-06-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
