Vorsu Prabhakar v. The State Of Telangana And 3 Others

HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI WRIT PETITION NO. 671 OF 2020 ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking quashing of investigation in Crime No.134 of 2019 of Thurkapally Police Station, Rachakonda, registered against the petitioner/accused for the offence punishable under Section 387 of I.P.C.

Though the learned counsel for the petitioner/accused filed the present petition for quashing of investigation in Crime No.134 of 2019, he restricts his prayer seeking a direction to the Investigating agency to follow the procedure prescribed under Section 41-A of the Cr.P.C. and the guidelines prescribed by the Apex Court in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar and another1.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the directions of the Apex Court have to be followed and implemented. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the police to abide by the directions of the Apex Court as set out in Arnesh Kumar case (supra). No coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner/accused till filing of the final report. Miscellaneous applications, if ay, pending shall stand closed. _________________ (G.
