Gunapati Hazarath Reddy v. The State Of A.P

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No.11193 of 2016 ORDER:

The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.97 of 2016 of Buchireddypalem P.S., SPSR Nellore District, registered for the offence punishable under section 326 IPC.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/accused and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State. Specific allegations were made against the petitioner in the complaint. This is a matter which requires investigation by the police. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during course of investigation or trial. I see no ground to interdict the investigation at this stage and quash the first information report. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the investigating agency to proceed with the investigation, however, without arresting the petitioner/accused in the above crime, for a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the meantime, it is open to the petitioner to approach lower court and obtain orders with regard to bail or otherwise.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
