crime, the investigating officer examined respondent No. 6 and other witnesses and recorded their detailed statements. Ample evidence has been collected during the course of investigation which goes to show that at the instigation of petitioner No.1 i.e., A1, the other accused A2 to A4 came in a Tata Sumo bearing No. AP 11 F 7707 and trespassed into the land of respondent No.6. However, in the light of the interim orders passed in this Writ Petition, the petitioner is not arrested and no steps are taken against him. The investigation is also almost completed in the said crime.
