THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.1375 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in registering Crime No.143 of 2004 under Sections 147, 447, 353 and 506, IPC and under Sections 4 and 5 of A.P.Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982 on the file of Tiruchanur Police Station, Tirupati, Chitttoor District, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, the petitioner is Sub-Inspector of Prohibition and Excise. The above-noted crime was registered against him and six others. The Station House Officer himself was the complainant. According to the petitioner, it is a false case and therefore, he filed C.C.No.36 of 2008 on the file of the Court of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sathyavedu, and after full trial, the respondent-police, who were parties to the said CC, were convicted holding that the petitioner was wrongfully detained. However, an appeal seems to have been filed by the respondents and the same is pending before this Court. Be that as it may, the remand report, dated 03.10.2004, filed before the learned III Additional District Munsif Magistrate, Tirupati, does not disclose anything against the petitioner herein and though he was shown as accused No.3, there is no whisper against him or anything is attributed to him, such as overt acts etc. Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that in view of the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, the proceedings in Crime No.143 of 2004 on the file of Tiruchanur Police Station, Tirupati, Chittoor District, against the petitioner are liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the proceedings against the petitioner in Crime No.143 of 2004 on the file of Tiruchanur Police Station, Tirupati, Chittoor District, are quashed and the writ petition is allowed. No order as to costs. _______________ (C.V. RAMULU,J) Date: 25.01.2011 VGB
