M.A.Javeed, v. The State Of Telangana

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K. JAISWAL Criminal Petition No. 4400 of 2015 Order:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner/accused, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short 'Cr.P.C'), seeking to quash the FIR registered against him in Crime No. 3065 of 2015 of Anti Power Theft Squad Police Station, Mahabubnagar, Mahabubnagar District, for the offence punishable under Section 135(1)(b) of Electricity Act, 2003.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State.

A perusal of the record would show that there is material, prima facie, sufficient to investigate into the allegations made against the petitioner/accused in the FIR. 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 Station House Officer, Anti Power Theft Squad Police Station, Mahabubnagar, not to arrest the petitioner/accused herein, but however, the investigation shall continue to its logical end and the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigating agency for smooth completion of the investigation.

As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in the Criminal Petition shall stand closed.
