THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.6404 OF 2011 ORDER:- Petitioners/A.1 and A.2 approach this Court with a prayer to quash First Information Report in Crime No.149 of 2011 on the file of Tenali Taluk Police Station, Guntur District, registered on 08.07.2011 for the offences punishable under Sections 323 and 506 I.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted the following points for consideration of this Court: 1) there is inordinate delay in lodging the complaint 2) there is no evidence that the de facto complainant sustained injury 3) the complaint is a motivated complaint due to earlier election disputes 4) the first petitioner is a senior citizen and Sarpanch of their village and 5) there is no investigation in the case and none of the witnesses were examined. In view of the circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that the contentions raised by the petitioners will be decided at the time of trial, and the contention that the first petitioner is a senior citizen is not at all a ground to quash the proceedings. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at the threshold i.e., at the stage of F.I.R. Further, the case was registered on 08.07.2011. The investigation is in progress. If the petitioners are aggrieved over the investigation, they are at liberty to challenge the same by raising all those points at the time of trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to consider the petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 02nd August, 2011. AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.6404 OF 2011 02-08-2011 AMD
