HON'BLE Dr. JUSTICE B. SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6754 of 2015 ORDER :

This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners/A.1 to A.4 under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.447 of 2015 of Kusaiguda Police Station, Cyberabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 448, 427, 323 and 506 read with 34 IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short, 'the Act').

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the 1st respondent-State represented by the Public Prosecutor, before admission and before ordering notice to the 2nd respondent and perused the material on record.

3. As the facts fall short for this Court to quash the proceedings of F.I.R.No.447 of 2014 of Kusaiguda Police Station, but for the factual matrix show, it is out come of several civil disputes including the interim order of this Court in W.P.No.34391 of 2014 and a statutory appeal under Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 before the trial Court, the petitioners are entitled to the concession of regular bail.

4. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to surrender before the learned Magistrate concerned and move regular bail

application on the same day with affidavit of surrender before the learned Special Judge and in such an event, the learned Special Judge shall grant bail with necessary conditions after hearing the public prosecutor concerned. Needless to say, at the post bail stage and pending investigation, the presence of the petitioners before the learned Magistrate can be dispensed with. Further it is needless to say, in the event of filing of charge sheet and any cognizance taken by the learned Magistrate, the further remedies, if any, are left open to the petitioners.

5. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand dismissed.
