Mandala Mallikarjuna Rao, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.40775 OF 2016 ORDER:

The writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for the records pertaining to F.I.R.No.162 of 2015 registered on the file of the fourth respondent for the offences under Sections 468, 420 IPC read with Section 34 IPC and declare the same as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, to quash the same.

Heard and perused the material.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present crime and that he has not committed any offence. He further submits that the fifth respondent has filed the present complaint with all false allegations. Hence, he prays this Court to quash the proceedings against the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner at the threshold. However, taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is aged about 71 years, the fourth respondent is directed to complete the investigation without arresting the petitioner and file final report, if any, in accordance with law. The petitioner is directed to appear before the fourth respondent as and when required.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any shall also stand disposed of. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 24.11.2016 pln
