Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 10401 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed seeking to quash the First Information Report No.443 of 2010 on the file of the Uppal Police Station, Ranga Reddy District. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The second respondent is the daughter of the first petitioner/A1. The second petitioner/A2 is the daughter-in-law of the first petitioner/A1. The complaint was filed by the second respondent before the III Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy District alleging that there is a land of an extent of 504 square yards in Peerzadiguda Village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, which belongs to the husband of the first petitioner. Subsequent to her death, it is alleged that the first petitioner gifted the said land under a registered gift deed to the grandson of the second petitioner, after the death of the husband of the second petitioner. According to the second respondent, who filed the complaint, the petitioners and the remaining accused persons illegally transferred the land in favour of the grandson of the first petitioner and that the first petitioner styling herself as Tulsamma @ Bhadramma. The said gift was executed on 11.01.2010 at Sub-Registrar’s Office, Uppal. The complaint was forwarded by the learned magistrate to the police and basing on the said complaint, the police registered a case under Sections 468, 420, 506 and 416 IPC. Admittedly, the first petitioner executed the gift deed in favour of her grandson on 11.01.2010, who is alive. If the first petitioner has no right to execute the said gift deed, the second respondent can file a suit to cancel the said registered gift deed. The averments made in the complaint-petition basing on which the first information report was registered, did not disclose the offences punishable under Sections 468, 420, 506 and 416 IPC. This is purely a civil dispute. Involving the petitioners in a criminal offence in respect of a dispute which is purely of civil in nature is nothing but abuse of process of law. For the foregoing reasons, the First Information Report No.443 of 2010 on the file of the Uppal Police Station, Ranga Reddy District, insofar as the petitioners are concerned is hereby quashed. The criminal petition is allowed. ________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 20.10.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 10401 OF 2010 DATE: 20.10.2011
