Petitioner and The State of A.P. & another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2303 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in crime No.97 of 2009 of Medchal Police Station registered for an offence punishable under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code. Heard. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner herein sold certain property to the second respondent-de facto complainant herein by suppressing the fact that he has already sold the said property to another person. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the said act of the petitioner would not attract an offence under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code. On perusal of the entire record, it is observed by this Court that the petitioner herein earlier approached this Court by invoking the writ jurisdiction in W.P.No.5150 of 2009 questioning the action of the respondent herein and this Court by order dated 23.03.2009 closed the said writ petition observing as follows: “……. On the earlier occasion when the matter came up, the learned Government Pleader for Home took time to obtain instructions and today she has filed a counter affidavit deposed by the 1st respondent Sub Inspector stating that one T.Gajapathi Rao S/o.T.Venkataiah resident of Vishnupri, Malkajgiri, Hyderabad, has lodged a complaint with him on 17.3.2009 stating that the petitioner herein has cheated him by selling the land admeasuring 300 square yards in Plot No.15, Sy.No.541 of Goudavally Village of Medchal Mandal, which was already sold to another person and has not shown any interest to pay back the amount received by him or to register an alternative land and basing on the said complaint, a case in Cr.No.97 of 2009 under Section 420 IPC was registered against the petitioner herein and investigation was taken up. During the counsel of investigation, he examined the complainant and recorded his statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and the investigation is pending for want of examination of some more witnesses and to collect documentary evidence to prove the guilt of the accused. It is also stated that the investigation would be completed expeditiously and charge sheet would be filed before the Court. In view of the above counter averments, no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition and it is accordingly closed recording the submission that investigation would be completed expeditiously and charge sheet would be filed.” Without disclosing the said order, petitioner again approached this Court with a prayer to quash the crime No.97 of 2009, which amounts to review. Hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain the present criminal petition. In any event, the respondent-police are directed to file charge sheet in crime No.97 of 2009 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on filing of such charge sheet, the learned trial Judge shall conduct the trial and dispose of the case within a period of six months from the date of filing of charge sheet. With above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date : 07.02.2011 sur
