  • TITLE/CORAM UGINA NAGAMANI v. KONA PERSISURANI HMJ K.Sreenivasa Reddy
    Criminal Petition No. 13821 of 2018

The Criminal Petition was filed under Section 482 of CrPC to quash the proceedings by the petitioner who was accused no. 2 in a criminal case. Her contention was that there was absolutely no offence made out against her but from the record, it is pertinent to mention that there was an accusation against petitioner. The court observed that Prima facie when an accusation has been made, this Court would not embark upon appreciation of the material in a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceedings.
