The petitioner, Namburi Sreedhar (Accused No. 3), filed a criminal petition before the Telangana High Court seeking to quash FIR No. 104 of 2025 registered by the Economic Offence Wing, Hyderabad, for offences under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, and 340(2) read with 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 5 of the Telangana Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments Act, 1999. The FIR arose from a complaint alleging that the petitioner's wife (Accused No. 1) and others fraudulently induced the complainant and his firm, M/s. Touchstone Enterprises, to invest approximately Rs. 73 crores by projecting fabricated work orders and a false profit-sharing scheme related to garment supply. The petitioner argued he was falsely implicated solely on the basis of his marital relationship with Accused No. 1, that criminal law does not recognise vicarious liability, and that the specific ingredients of the charged offences were not made out against him individually. He further contended that the transaction was a commercial/investment arrangement and did not constitute a 'deposit' under the TPDFE Act, nor did Accused No. 1's enterprise qualify as a 'financial establishment'. The judgment text provided does not record the final order or outcome of the petition.
