Praveen J. Chandan v. The State Of A.P

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL Criminal Petition No.13161 of 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C) by the petitioner/accused No.3 seeking to quash the C.C.No.3 of 2015 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tiruvuru, Krishna District, for the offences under Section 420 I.P.C. and Section 4 read with Section 5(f) of Prizes, Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner/accused No.3 and the learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. On a perusal of the charge sheet, this Court is of the view that truth or otherwise of the allegations made against the petitioner can be decided only after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioner.

In any event, considering the nature of allegations against the petitioner/accused No.3, presence of the petitioner/accused No.3 on each and every hearing before the trial Court is dispensed with, but he shall appear before the trial Court when the trial Court insists for his appearance for any specific purpose. The learned trial Court shall dispose of C.C.No.3 of 2015 positively within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions pending in this petition, if any, shall stand closed. _______________________ JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL
