Lalam Govindu, v. State Of Andhra Pradesh,

HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE B. SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7585 of 2017 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners/ accused of Crime No.36 of 2017 on the file of the Nathavaram Police Station, Visakhapatnam District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 448, 427, 323, 509, 506 r/ w 34 I.P.C. and learned Public Prosecutor representing the State before ordering notice to the 2nd respondent and perused the grounds urged in the quash petition and the contents of the F.I.R. and the earlier F.I.R.No.26 of 2017 dated 25.03.2017 registered against the de facto complainant and others for the offences punishable under Sections 447, 341, 506 r/ w 109 I.P.C.

It is one of the contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the present F.I.R. is a counter-blast of the earlier F.I.R. apart from the several disputes, there are also 5 days delay in filing report before the police and the entire story is a false outcome. Having regard to the above, there is nothing to interdict the investigation, but for, to say pending investigation, the petitioners shall not be arrested. However, it is made clear that this will not prevent the Police to secure the presence of the petitioners for the purpose of investigation, as and when required.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE Dr. B.SIVA SANKARA RAO Date: 12.09.2017 pab
