Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4896 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 3 / A-1 to A-3 are accused of offence under Sections 324/34 IPC in Crime No.1242 of 2009 of Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad. 2. It is alleged that on 23-09-2009 at 17.00 hours, A-2 and A-3 and others came with pipes, sticks and bats and beat the second respondent / de facto complainant and her son and torn her jacket and beat her on face and chest and that there was bleeding injury to her hand finger. 3. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that there is civil dispute pending between the parties and that the matter is in civil Court and that this case is counter blast for crime No.1241 of 2009 of the same police station in which offence A-3 suffered head injury in the hands of the prosecution party herein. Previously also husband of the second respondent gave report against A-1 and others in Crime No.1101 of 2009 of the same police station alleging offences under Sections 420 and 468 IPC. 4. It is contended that Crime Nos.1241 and 1242 of 2009 are case and counter to each other, arising out of same transaction. Both the parties suffered bleeding injuries in this transaction. The question to be considered by the Investigating Officer is as to which of the two parties is the aggressor. 5. Having regard to the bleeding injuries sustained by the second respondent in this case, it cannot be thrown out at the threshold on the ground that it is a counter blast case to the other. I find no circumstances in law to stop investigation of this case. 6. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J June 21, 2010. KTL
