Karri Venkata Reddy v. The State Of A.P

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No.11657 of 2016 ORDER:

The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.109 of 2015 on the file of the Court of Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Amalapuram, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 138 & 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/accused and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State.

Specific allegations were made against the petitioner in the complaint. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during the course of trial. This Court is not supposed to make a roving enquiry into the allegations made in the charge sheet. I see no ground to quash the charge sheet.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the Court below to proceed with the trial and dispose of CC.No.109 of 2015 within a period of six months from today, however, without insisting for the presence of the petitioner/accused for each and every adjournment, unless it feels that his physical presence is necessary for any specific purpose.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
