THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.4254 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.280 of 2011 of Gajuwaka Police Station, Visakhapatnam, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 468, 471, 447, 506 and 120-B IPC. Heard both sides. Perused the entire material placed on record. It appears there are some civil disputes between the parties and litigations are pending between the parties and also the Government. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the 1st petitioner filed a writ petition seeking a direction not to dispossess him from the subject property without following due process of law. He further submitted that the allegations leveled in the complaint do not prima facie constitute any offence against the petitioners. Learned counsel for the 2nd respondent submitted that the petitioners herein forged a patta and on the basis of the forged patta, they are trying to grab the property from the 2nd respondent herein. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the material available on record, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. However, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners and the petitioners are directed to cooperate with the investigation. Further, the petitioners are directed to appear before the concerned Investigating Officer on 21.11.2011 and thereafter as and when required by the Investigating Officer. The Investigating Officer is further directed to file the final report either way after completion of the investigation. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 02.11.2011 v v
