The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in DVC No. 7 of 2016 pending adjudication on the file of learned III Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Khammam.

Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, and learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State. Having heard the learned Counsel on either side and gone through the material available on record, it is obvious that specific allegations were made against the petitioners herein (respondents in DVC) in the affidavit filed in support of the aforesaid DVC. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during course of trial. This Court is not supposed to make a roving enquiry into the allegations made in the aforesaid DVC.

hearing the case. It is made clear that the first petitioner herein (first respondent in DVC) shall ensure his presence before the Court below on each and every date of hearing the case. .

Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration if any in the Criminal Petition shall stand closed in consequence. No order as to costs.
