STATE OF A.P. vs MADDU LAKSHMANA RADO — Crl.A. No. 1037/2000

Case Summary: State of A.P. v. Maddu Lakshmana Rado On 27 November 2000, the Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the State's appeal, setting aside the High Court's order that had quashed the investigation into disproportionate assets (Rs. 20,96,970) allegedly possessed by Maddu Lakshmana Rado. The Court found the High Court had erred in quashing proceedings under Section 482 Cr.P.C. based on the flawed reasoning that the complainant and investigation officer were the same person, when the District Inspector merely submitted a report to the ACB. The Court directed the investigation to proceed under the entrusted Inspector. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
