HONOURABLE Dr. JUSTICE B. SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.14020 of 2018 ORDER :

Impugning the First Information Report in Crime No.868 of 2016 registered by the Patamata Police Station, Vijayawada City, for the offences punishable under Sections 191, 192, 196, 354, 406, 419, 452, 468 and 498-A read with 34, 109 and 120-B IPC, the petitioner/A.1 filed the quash petition.

2.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor, representing the respondent-State before admission. Perused the First Information Report and quash petition averments. 3.

A perusal of the First Information Report and quash petition averments no way entitles this Court to quash the proceedings or admit by keeping the matter pending, but for to say for none of the offences are punishable above seven years, the police strictly follow Section 41-A Cr.P.C., and also the guidelines as held by the Apex Court in Arnesh Kumar Vs. State of Bihar1.

4.

Accordingly and in the result, the criminal petition is disposed of without prejudice to any future defence of the petitioner. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ Dr. B. SIVA SANKARA RAO, J 31st December 2018.
