             Dated this the 30th day of May, 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                                   ORDER<\/p>\n
      Petitioner who has been arraigned as accused No.2 in<\/p>\n
CC.No.62\/2002 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class,<\/p>\n
Vadakara has preferred this petition under section 482 of the Code<\/p>\n
of Criminal Procedure seeking to quash the above proceedings<\/p>\n
pending against him.\n<\/p>\n
      2.  Petitioner and the co-accused had been charge sheeted by<\/p>\n
Vadakara Police in       Crime No. 196\/2000 pursuant to a private<\/p>\n
complaint filed by respondent No.2 herein, alleging commission of<\/p>\n
offences punishable under Sections 379 and 420 read with Section<\/p>\n
34 IPC. The complaint was forwarded to the Police under Section<\/p>\n
156(3) of the Code.\n<\/p>\n
      3. In Annexure A3 complaint filed by respondent No.2 it is<\/p>\n
seen alleged that he had sold a bus bearing registration No. KRZ<\/p>\n
4365 to accused No.1 (O.Sreedharan, son of Anandan) on the<\/p>\n
strength of an agreement dated March 2, 1996 for a sum of<\/p>\n
Rs,2,57,500\/-. According to the complainant accused No.1 was put<\/p>\n
in possession of the vehicle pursuant to the sale and all documents<\/p>\n
relating to the vehicle had been handed over to him. But the<\/p>\n
complainant alleged that accused No.1 had failed to effect transfer<\/p>\n
of ownership of the vehicle in his name. He had also failed to remit<\/p>\n
the vehicle tax, insurance etc. Therefore the complainant was<\/p>\n
constrained to submit G Form application as provided under the<\/p>\n
Crl.MC.703\/03                      2<\/span><\/p>\n
Kerala Motor Vehicle (Taxation) Act and Rules before the competent<\/p>\n
authority. Since it was reported that accused No.2 was in possession of<\/p>\n
the vehicle at the relevant point of time, the matter was communicated<\/p>\n
to him also. But the complainant came to know that accused No.2 had<\/p>\n
stealthily removed the vehicle from his residential premises and taken it<\/p>\n
away to Kannur on March 25, 2000. It was at that stage that the<\/p>\n
complainant had preferred Annexure A3 complaint before the Judicial<\/p>\n
Magistrate of First Class, Vadakara alleging commission of offence<\/p>\n
under Sections 379 and 420 read with Section 34 IPC. As mentioned<\/p>\n
earlier, the complaint was forwarded by the learned Magistrate to the<\/p>\n
Police under section     156(3) of the Code. The Police had charge<\/p>\n
sheeted the petitioner and the other two accused after completing the<\/p>\n
investigation. The other accused was the subsequent purchaser of the<\/p>\n
vehicle from accused No.2.\n<\/p>\n
        4.   It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that he had<\/p>\n
purchased the vehicle in question on November 2, 1999 on the strength<\/p>\n
of Annexure A1 agreement from one K.T.Asokan who had purchased it<\/p>\n
from accused No.1. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel<\/p>\n
nothing is discernible from the complaint as to how petitioner could be<\/p>\n
alleged to have committed the offence punishable under Section 420<\/p>\n
read with Section 34 IPC. It is pertinent to note that the de facto<\/p>\n
complainant had admittedly sold the vehicle to accused No.1 in March<\/p>\n
1996. It is hard to believe that he waited till March 2000 before taking<\/p>\n
any action for the alleged failure of accused No.1 to effect transfer of<\/p>\n
the vehicle in his name. It is yet again difficult to believe that he was<\/p>\n
Crl.MC.703\/03                       3<\/span><\/p>\n
not aware as to who had been operating the vehicle in the meanwhile.<\/p>\n
It is significant to note that the Police had not charge sheeted the 3<\/p>\n
accused including the petitioner for the offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Section 379 IPC. Going by the allegations in the complaint the only<\/p>\n
offence if at all that the accused might have committed would be one<\/p>\n
under section 379 IPC because obviously the petitioner had nothing to<\/p>\n
do with the transaction between the complainant and accused No.1.<\/p>\n
       5.   In any view of the matter I am satisfied that the prosecution<\/p>\n
initiated against the petitioner cannot be sustained. Therefor the<\/p>\n
proceedings pending against the petitioner in CC.No. 62\/2002 on the<\/p>\n
file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Vadkara are quashed.<\/p>\n
       Crl.M.C is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
