The deceased was working as Agriculture Officer of Devarakandra Mandal. In a scheme formulated by the Government, the said Mandal was allotted 35 sprinklers to be allotted exclusively for poor and marginal farmers of the Mandal.

On 14.10.2009 unable to bear the said pressure, the deceased committed suicide by setting her ablaze. Heard and perused the material available on record. In an earlier occasion, A.1 and A.

2 approached this Court to quash the proceedings against them and this Court by common order dated 8.10.2013 allowed Crl.P.Nos.274 and 1272 of 2010 quashing the impugned proceedings as against them.

against the petitioner herein is abuse of process of law and liable to be quashed.

In the result, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the impugned proceedings in P.R.C.No.48 of 2009 pending on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Narayanpet, Mahabubnagar District are hereby quashed as against the petitioner herein.
