Mahipooz, v. The State Of Telangana Rep. By The Principal Secretary,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.1106 OF 2017 ORDER:

The writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking a writ of mandamus to quash the proceedings in F.I.R.No.534 of 2016 registered on the file of the third respondent for the offences under Sections 424, 427, 447, 506 read with 34 IPC. Heard and perused the material.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the complaint is lodged without any valid grounds and that the same is lodged only to harass the petitioners. He further submits that the complaint does not disclose any of the ingredients of the offences alleged against them. He further submits that the offences are punishable less than seven years and as such, he prays this Court to quash the case against the petitioners.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at the threshold. However, taking into consideration the fact that the allegations are not so serious in nature and also as the offences are punishable less than seven years, the third respondent is directed to complete the investigation without arresting the petitioners and file final report, if any, in accordance with law. The petitioners are directed to appear before the third respondent and execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each with one surety for the likesum each for their future appearance as and when required for the purpose of investigation. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any shall also stand disposed of. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 06.01.2017 pln
