HON’’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Crl.P. No.5631 OF 2010 O R D E R : This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceedings in Crime No.23 of 2010 of Narayanapur Police Station, Nalgonda District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the 2nd respondent. Perused the records. Based on the complaint given by the 2nd respondent, police registered a case in Crime No.23 of 2010 against the petitioner for the offences under Section 3(i)(x) of SC & ST (POA) Act 1989 and 354 of IPC. The 2nd respondent filed a private complaint before the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nalgonda, and the learned Magistrate referred the same to the police under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. for investigation and report. Thereupon, F.I.R. was registered. According to the complaint on 08.03.2010 and again on 14.03.2010 the petitioner who is working as Prohibition and Excise Constable came to the house of the complainant and abused her in filthy language and also in the name of her caste and threatened her that he would sell her to brothal house and commit rape on her. Having regard to the specific allegations made in the complaint, prima facie attracting the ingredients of the alleged offences, it is considered not a fit case to quash further investigation, that too at the threshold stage, by invoking the inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Investigation shall go on. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner is a Government employee, working as Prohibition and Excise Constable, he may not be arrested till the conclusion of the investigation and filing of charge sheet, if any. The petitioner shall not in any way interfere with the investigation or tamper with the evidence and shall not intimidate the complainant in any manner. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed with the above direction. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 06th December, 2010 PNV
