The State of A.P., Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 2. N. Ram Reddy, S/o. Ananth Reddy, Aged about 52 years, S.I. of Police, (Intelligence), R/o.H.No.4-46/16, Sai Nagar Colony, R.C. Puram, Medak District. - - - Respondents. This Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.9290 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to stay all further proceedings including investigation and arrest of the Petitioner/A-1 in Crime No.121/2010 of P.S. Patancheru, pending on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sangareddy, and to quash the proceedings in F.I.R. No.121 of 2010 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sangareddy. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor for the State. The brief facts leading to filing of present Criminal Petition are as follows : The allegation against the petitioner is that he conducted interviews in Ellanki Engineering College, Patancheru and as well in different Engineering colleges in the State and selected nearly 220 employees. The students who were selected have to furnish a security of two employees and the student who is not able to furnish surety of two employees has to deposit Rs.1,50,000/- (Rupees one lakh fifty thousand) and accordingly the petitioner collected such total deposits to a tune of Rs.1,61,00,000/- and subsequently he did not return the deposit amount. On the report given by various individuals, investigation was conducted by PS Madhapur and charge sheet has been laid which is now pending as C.C. No.1912 of 2009 on the file of IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad. Individual grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the investigation conducted by the PS Madhapur, again the present report was lodged by the de-facto complainant before PS Patancheru and the same was registered as FIR No.121 of 2010, as the said offence has already been investigated, FIR is liable to be quashed. As to the submissions made by the learned counsel, I would like to state that since huge amount was allegedly collected as security deposit from about more than 200 students, it is not possible to quash the proceedings in F.I.R. No.121 of 2010 though the investigation has already completed for the same offence by PS Madhapur and C.C. No.1912 of 2009 was pending on the file of IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Kukatpally. The reason being deposits were collected from large number of students and the investigation conducted by PS Madhapur cannot be said to be complete and exhaustive in respect of each and every victim. F.I.R. No.121 of 2010 is now at the stage of investigation by PS Patancheru and if at all they file a charge sheet in respect of the same matter, both the cases may be tried together by the Court, which would try the offences. It is not appropriate to quash the investigation at this stage. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. ________________ R. KANTHA RAO, J Dated: 20.09.2010 Dsh.
