THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.4655 OF 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.10 under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.8 of 2014 on the file of the Veldurthy Police Station, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 406, 468, 471, 420 and 201 r/w 34 IPC.

Heard and perused the material available on record. It is alleged that pattadar pass books and title deeds possessed by A1 and A2 are fake and bogus and that the signatures of the Revenue Officials were forged.

It is the case of the petitioner that his name was included on the statement given by some of the accused in the above crime and that he has not committed any offence as alleged.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of the offence alleged against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioner. However, the 1st respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation and file a final report, if any, in accordance with law, without arresting the petitioner. In the event of necessity, the 1st respondent-police are directed to issue notice to the petitioner for the purpose of investigation. On issuance of such notice, the petitioner is directed to appear before the investigating officer and give an undertaking as to his future appearance as and when required by the investigating agency for the purpose of investigation.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date : 4.4.2016 Nn HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO
