ORDER

¶51

Petitioners-accused No.7, 8, 9, 11 to 17, 19 to 26, 28 & 30 are calling in question the proceedings in C.C.No.1018/2014 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 5 and 7 of Lottery Regulation Act, 1998, Sections 4(1)(a)(b)(c), 5, 7(3) of the Karnataka Lottery and Prize Competition Control Tax Act, 1951, Sections 4 and 5 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes Banning Act, 1978, Sections 66(6) of IT Act, 2008 and Sections 114, 353, 420, 506 read with section 34 of IPC.

¶52

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned HCGP for the State.

¶53

3. Facts in brief are as follows:

¶54

Respondent No.2-complainant, on 07.10.2016, appears to be in receipt of certain information that accused No.1 is running a shop in the name of 'Mahanadi Groups' in the cellar of one

¶55

¶56

NC: 2024:KHC:22003 CRL.P No. 445 of 2022

¶57

Venu Complex in Town Municipality and it is operating Kerala State Lottery illegally and sending messages to mobile phones seeking deposit of money from the general public. The Police is said to have inspected the premises along with a team and accused No.1 was questioned and the name of accused No.2 drops up and the Police then apprehended the accused No.1 and 2. With the help of the said accused, accused No.3, 4 & 5 are also into the web of crime. Thereafter, after the arrest of accused No.1 in crime No.219/2016, during the course of the investigation, dragged all these petitioners into the web of crime on the score that they were playing lottery despite it being banned in the State of Karnataka and they are the participants in the lottery network of the accused No.1, 2, 3 and all others.

¶58

Therefore, it leads to registration of crime against these

¶59

petitioners for the aforesaid offences. The Police, after investigation, file charge sheet against the all the accused. Filing of the charge sheet has driven these petitioners to this court in the subject petition. This court in terms of its order dated 15.12.2022 has granted interim order of stay of further proceedings qua these petitioners finding that the allegation was

¶60

¶61

NC: 2024:KHC:22003 CRL.P No. 445 of 2022

¶62

only against the accused No.1. The interim protection is in subsistence even today.

¶63

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is not an iota of evidence against these petitioners that they are the perpetrators of illegality qua the selling of lottery. No doubt the messages were sent to these petitioners, but they are only participants, who are lured by the other accused in these proceedings. He would submit that none of the offences would get attracted to these petitioners.

¶64

Learned HCGP would though refute the submission to contend that the charge sheet is filed and certain amount is transferred to the account of few of the petitioners. It is for them to come out clean.

¶65

I have given my anxious consideration to the respective submissions made by the learned counsel and have perused the material on record.

¶66

The aforenarrated facts are not in dispute. What led these petitioners into the web of crime is what narrated hereinabove. The issue has sprung from the complaint. Therefore, I deem it appropriate to notice the complaint.

A perusal at the complaint or the summary of the charge sheet would not indicate even a titter of material against these petitioners and all the allegations are stated against accused No.1 to 6, who are to answer the perpetration of illegality by selling the lottery of the State of Kerala, which is banned in the State of Karnataka.

10. Finding no allegation against these petitioners either in the

¶102

compliant or in the charge sheet, as the learned HCGP is unable to point out any instance even in the statement against these petitioners except the flow of money of few thousands to the account of the petitioners, they can, at best, be said to be the participants in the lottery and not perpetrators of the illegality, as is allegeable against accused No.1 to 6. Finding no ingredient of any of the offences so alleged, permitting further proceedings against these petitioners would become an abuse of process of law and result in miscarriage of justice and therefore, for the aforesaid reasons, the following:

¶103

ORDER

¶104

(i) Criminal petition is allowed; and

¶105

(ii) The proceedings in C.C.No.1018/2017 (Crime No.219/2016) on the file of I Additional Senior Civil Judge and CJM, Mysuru, are quashed qua these petitioners-accused No.7, 8, 9, 11 to 17, 19 to 26, 28 & 30.
