THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3032 OF 2016 ORDER:

This petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 and 2 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.477 of 2015 on the file of Suryapet Town Police Station, Nalgonda District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420 and 506 IPC.

It is alleged that the 1st petitioner, who is the owner of Ac.7.13 guntas of land, entered into oral sale agreement with the 2nd respondent and the 2nd respondent paid Rs.29,50,000/- as earnest money and thereafter, the 2nd respondent developed the said land. The 2nd respondent came to know that one K. Sunkaiah purchased the land in question and filed a suit. It is alleged that when the 2nd respondent questioned the petitioners about the said sale, they threatened him with dire consequences.

Heard and perused the material available on record. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the allegations made in the complaint, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioners.

At this stage, the learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that due to the pendency of the above crime, the petitioners apprehend arrest and harassment in the hands of the 1st respondent-police. In view of the above submission, the 1st respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation and file a final report, if any, without arresting the petitioners. In the event of necessity, the 1st respondent-police are directed to issue notice to the petitioners for their appearance before the investigating agency for the purpose of investigation. On issuance of such notice, the petitioners shall appear before the investigating agency and give an undertaking as to their future appearance as and when required by the investigating agency

for the purpose of investigation.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
