Panchagnula Subrahmanyam v. State Of Andhra Pradesh,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.466 OF 2016 ORDER:

The petitioner/A.1 has preferred the present criminal revision case by invoking the provisions under Sections 397 and 401 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.,) being aggrieved by the order dated 19.01.2016 passed in Crl.M.P.No.379 of 2015 in C.C.No.21 of 2015 on the file of the Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases-cum-II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Nellore, whereby the learned Judge dismissed the petition filed by the petitioner/A.1 seeking discharge from the proceedings initiated against him. Heard and perused the material available on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner/A.1 submits that there is an inordinate delay in filing the charge sheet and that L.Ws.1 and 2 are the habitual bribe givers and without taking into consideration of these, the Court below erred in dismissing the petition seeking discharge.

This Court is of the view that the grounds raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner are not valid grounds for discharging the petitioner/A.1. However, as the question of identity of the petitioner/A.1 does not arise, the presence of the petitioner/A.1 before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates when the trial Court insists for his appearance. The Criminal Revision Case is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions pending in this petition, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 10.02.2016 pln
