As it appears, before the learned Magistrate, an application for discharge was filed, but the Magistrate was of the opinion that there exist sufficient material to proceed with the criminal case and, therefore, prayer for discharge was rejected.
Accused then moved the High Court and High Court by the impugned order has quashed the criminal proceedings.
The order of learned Single Judge of Andhra Pradesh High Court passed in Criminal Revision No.
602/1999 allowing the revision filed by the accused persons on the ground that the criminal case cannot proceed because of the pendency of a civil suit is the subject matter of the challenge in this Court.
Leave granted.
