Manoj Malhotra v. State Of Telangana

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRL.P.No.6167 of 2015 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed Under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the Petitioners-A1 to A5 to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.118 of 2015 of Women Police Station, Begumpet Hyderabad City, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A I.P.C. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein, a case in Crime No.118 of 2015 was registered against the petitioners by the Sub Inspector of Police, Women Police Station, Hyderabad City.

Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor, representing the State.

The allegations in the complaint prima facie reveal the commission of alleged offence by the petitioners-accused. It is a matter, which requires investigation by the police. Therefore, I see no grounds to interfere at this stage with the investigation of the case.

Having regard to the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the Criminal Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Investigating Officer to proceed with the investigation expeditiously, however, he shall scrupulously follow the procedure as contemplated under Section 41A Cr.P.C before taking any coercive steps against the

petitioners-A1 to A5.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
