HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION No. 6658 of 2019 ORDER:

The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.29 of 2019 of Kothagudem I Town Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under sections 420, 326, 506 and 293 (b) of 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. 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, till the investigation is completed and the final report is filed. The petitioner/ accused shall cooperate with the investigating agency and shall make himself available as and when required during course of investigation.

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