ORDER:
The challenge in this writ petition is to the notice dated22.12.2015 issued by the Tahsildar/Executive Magistrate, PeddavooraMandal, Nalgonda District, the third respondent. By the said notice,the third respondent exercised powers under Section 122(b) Cr.P.C.and ordered the petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.2,00,000/-. Thispayment was directed in the context of the petitioner being bound overfor good behaviour on 05.09.2015 for a like sum.
2. The impugned notice reflects that after being bound over, thepetitioner was implicated in COR No.280/2015-16 dated 21.09.2015 in relation to an offence under Section 34(e) of A.P.Excise Act, 1968.Owing to the alleged involvement of the petitioner in the said offence, the third respondent concluded that the petitioner committed breach ofthe bond furnished by him under Section 110 Cr.P.C.
3. Having received instructions in the matter, the learned AssistantGovernment Pleader for Excise conceded that no enquiry wasconducted under Section 117 Cr.P.C. before exercise of powers underSection 122 Cr.P.C. That apart, this Court is of the opinion that merearraignment in an offence cannot be taken to be a conviction wherebyit could be said that the petitioner had committed a breach of the bondfurnished by him for maintaining good behaviour.
4. Thus, on counts more than one, the impugned notice dated22.12.2015 is unsustainable and is therefore set aside.
The writ petition is allowed. Pending miscellaneous petitions, ifany, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as tocosts.
