THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No.4234 of 2015 ORDER:

The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the

proceedings in Cr.No.72 of 2015 of Punganur Police Station, Chittoor District. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners/A1 to A3 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State. Basing on the complaint of the 2nd respondent/complainant, the police registered a case against the petitioners and others for the offences punishable under Sections 323 and 506 r/w.Sec.34 IPC and under Section 3(1)(x) of SC & ST (POA) Act. The allegations in the complaint, prima facie, reveal the commission of alleged offences by the petitioners. This is a matter, which requires investigation by the police, and there are no valid grounds to quash the First Information Report. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the investigating agency to proceed with the investigation, however, without arresting the petitioners/A1 to A3 in Cr.No.72 of 2015 of Punganur Police Station, Chittoor District.

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