P.Mohan Reddy And 2 Others v. The State Of Telangana And Another

HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION NO.917 OF 2020 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) seeking quashing of investigation in Crime No.621 of 2019 of P.S. Subedari, Warangal Commissionerate, registered against the petitioners/A-1 to A-3 for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Though the learned counsel for the petitioners/A-1 to A-3 filed the present petition for quashing of investigation in Crime No.621 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 Criminal Petition is disposed of directing the police to abide by the directions of the Apex Court as set out in Arnesh Kumar case (supra).

Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending shall stand closed. _________________ (G. SRI DEVI, J) 10th February 2020 RRB 1 AIR 2014 SC 2756
