The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.7 of 2015 of II Town Police Station, Eluru, West Godavari District.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State. Basing on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent/complainant, which was forwarded by the II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Eluru, West Godavari District, under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C., the police registered a case against the petitioner herein and five others for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 120(b), 468, 471, 474, 193, 196, 199, 209, 182, 307 and 506(2) read with 511 and 34 IPC.

The allegations in the complaint, prima facie, reveal the commission of offences punishable under Sections 420, 120(b), 468, 471, 474, 193, 196, 199, 209, 182, 307 and 506(2) read with 511 and 34 IPC by the petitioner herein. This is a matter which requires investigation by the police, and there are no valid grounds to quash the First Information Report.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the investigating agency to proceed with the investigation, however, without arresting the petitioner in Cr.No.7 of 2015 of II Town Police Station, Eluru, West Godavari District.

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