THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4548 of 2011 Date: 07.07.2011 Between: K.Gangadhar …..Petitioner And The State of A.P., through S.H.O., Bowenpally P.S., Hyderabad, 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.4548 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri Ravindra, learned counsel for the petitioner and also learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. Petitioner is accused in Crime No.332 of 2010 of Bowenpally Police Station, Hyderabad. The offence alleged is one punishable under Section 420 I.P.C. 3. The substance of accusation made against the petitioner is that he executed an agreement of sale for a certain extent of land and received a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- promising that he would execute the sale deed in course of time but ultimately it turned out that the land in question does not belong to him. It is alleged that the petitioner knowing fully well that the land does not belong to him offered to sell the same and thus cheated the de facto complainant. 4. The matter is under investigation. It is also alleged that the petitioner gave a cheque for Rs.10,00,000/- to the de facto complainant but it was dishonoured for want of sufficient funds. Today, the counsel for the petitioner across the bar filed a receipt which is not stamped showing that he paid a sum of Rs.6,00,000/- to the de facto complainant. His argument is that there was no element of cheating on the part of the petitioner and that he is ready to pay back the remaining amount. It however does not absolve him from the above alleged offences. The matter is still, as already mentioned supra, pending investigation. The allegations in the complaint do disclose the offence mentioned in it. Of course, it is finally for the investigating authority to go into the matter and reach a conclusion. In the above circumstances, I do not see any reason to admit this petition. 5. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed at the admission stage. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 7th July, 2011 Tjmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4548 of 2011 DATE: 07.07.2011
