THE HONBLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.10123 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash all the proceedings in pursuance of the FIR in Cr.No.72 of 2010 on the file of Arvapally Police Station, Nalgonda District. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. None appears for the 2nd respondent though served with notice. Heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor-1st respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. The 2nd respondent herein gave a complaint on 20-09-2010 in the Arvapally Police Station complaining about loss of six she-buffalos worth Rs.50,000/-. In the said complaint, it is alleged that the said she-buffalos went on grazing and subsequently, he came to know that the petitioners committed theft of she-buffalos and sold them at a sandy. The complaint was received by the police at 19-30 hours on 20-09-2010 and the same was registered as FIR in Cr.No.72 of 2010 under Sections 379 and 411 IPC. 4. As seen from the copy of the complaint and FIR, investigation was taken up only in pursuance of and after registration of the FIR at 7.30 PM on 20th September 2010. However, the CD and copies of statements of the witnesses disclose that some of the statements of the witnesses including that of LW1 was recorded on 19-09-2010. The panchanams of the alleged witnesses recorded, before recovery of cash being the alleged sale proceeds of the she-buffalos, are dated 20-09-2010, and time was noted as between 9-00 AM and 10-00 A.M. The confessional statement of the accused is however said to have been recorded on 23.9.2010. When the FIR was registered at 7.30 P.M on 20th September, 2010, it is not known how the statements of the witnesses could be recorded on 19-09-2010 itself and the scene of offence could be inspected in the morning of 20-09-2010. 5. It is obvious, as contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner, that the alleged statements of the witnesses and the panchanamas for the observations of the scene of offence etc., appear to have been fabricated. The continuation of further proceedings based on such fabricated documents would not serve any purpose and on the other hand, it only amounts to gross abuse of process of law. 6. In the circumstances, it is considered to be a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and quash further proceedings in pursuance of the FIR in Cr.No.72 of 2010, as no useful purpose would be served by continuing such proceedings on the basis of haphazard investigation. 7. In the result, the Criminal Petition is allowed and all further proceedings in pursuance of FIR in Cr.No.72 of 2010 Arvapally PS are quashed. ______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J rkk Dated: 3-11-2010
