HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11247 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.12694 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: These two Criminal Petitions are ﬁled by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.54 of 2011 of P.S. Rayadurg, Anantapur District, registered for the oﬀence punishable under Section 366 read with Section 34 of IPC. Since parties to the proceedings are one and same and the point to be decided is also one and same, both the criminal petitions are being disposed of together by this common order. Heard both sides and perused the record. The allegations made against the petitioners- accused are that the petitioner-accused No.1, with the active support of his parents, petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3, and friends, kidnapped the daughter of de facto complainant, 2nd respondent herein, by name G.M.Krishna Veni. After registration of the F.I.R., the daughter of the 2nd respondent appeared before the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kalyandurg, and deposed that the petitioner-accused No.1 has taken away her forcibly by threatening her with dire consequences. But, today she appeared before this Court and ﬁled an aﬃdavit stating that she is a major and she went along with the petitioner-accused No.1 on her own accord and married him. This Court is of the view that her statement cannot be taken into consideration at this stage to decide the issue. Further, the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3 were already arrested by the police and released on bail. Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioners are hereby directed to produce all the relevant documents before the Police Oﬃcer concerned and inform about the stand taken by the daughter of the 2nd respondent and, on that, the police are directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners and decide the issue. Accordingly, both the Criminal Petitions are disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, ﬁled shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 22nd November, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PET IT ION No.11247 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PET IT ION (S.R.)
