On a report given by the 2nd respondent, the police registered case in Cr.No.126 of 2006, investigated into the same and filed charge sheet in the lower court. It is alleged that taking an advantage of their friendship, daughter of A-1 took the defacto complainant to their house where A-1 to A-5 beat her and took her signatures on cheques and some blank papers and also in a register forcibly with an intention to extract her property, after making her to drink some unknown liquid and after threatening her with dire consequences and to kill her younger son and that the accused also threatened her to molest her if she resisted and refused to sign the said documents. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that charge sheet is a true replica of report given by the defacto complainant to the police and that the police did not make any investigation at all and that there was only table investigation. Allegations made by the defacto complainant and conclusions arrived at by the investigating officer in the charge sheet prima facie disclose the offences for which the case was filed in the lower court. Truth or otherwise is a matter of evidence and this court cannot decide the said question of fact in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. After a lapse of three (3) years, now the petitioner approached this Court for quashing the proceedings in criminal case. This court is of the opinion that this is a fit case for trial by the lower court. There are no valid and legal grounds for quashing the proceedings. Hence the petition is dismissed. __________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J Dt.03.06.2010 TSNR
