B.Lakshmi Narayana v. State Of Andhra Pradesh

HON'BLE Dr. JUSTICE B. SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9384 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.133 of 2015 of Adoni I Town Police Station, Kurnool District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 324 read with 34 IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

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

3. The facts fall short for this Court to quash, but for to say the factual matrix to the concession of bail by the petitioners.

4. Hence, the criminal petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners/A.1 to A.4 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 with notice to Special Public Prosecutor and in such an event, the learned Special Judge shall grant bail in their favour with necessary conditions on the same day. Needless to say, at the post bail stage and pending investigation, the

presence of the petitioners before the learned Magistrate can be dispensed with. It is further needless to say, in the event of filing of charge sheet by the police 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 closed.
