ORDER :

1. This criminal original petition has been filed to call for the records in C.C. No. 31 of 2015 on the file of the Principal Sessions Court (Special Court constituted under Section 43(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002), Chennai and to quash the same.

2.1 One T.D. Naidu approached Raveendranatha Reddy, the then Branch Manager of Andhra Bank, Anna Nagar Branch, for huge loans for starting a Medical College and Hospital sometime in the year 2008. Raveendranatha Reddy, in collusion with T.D. Naidu, in violation of banking norms, appears to have sanctioned a sum of Rs. 41 crores and the account became a Non-Performing Asset (NPA).
