PETITIONER/A5 And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep.by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P. Hyderabad and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.N.RAO NALLA CRIMINAL PETITION No.6353 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.26 of 2010 of Police Station Thamballapalli, Chittoor District registered for the offences punishable under Section 3 (i) (x) of SC & ST (POA) Act. Heard both sides. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the learned Asst. Public Prosecutor submits that he has no instructions. The learned counsel for the petitioner/accused submitted that the petitioner/A5 is falsely implicated in the above crime, though his name was not reflected in the complaint given by the de facto complainant. On perusal of the entire material available on record, it is clear that according to version of the priest of the temple, the petitioner/accused and others are alleged to have directed him not to allow the de facto complainant and his caste people into the temple. The allegations in the F.I.R made out prima facie case against the petitioner/A5. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner/accused in the above referred crime, by invoking the inherent powers under Sec.482 of Cr.P.C The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ B.N.RAO NALLA,J Dated: 20.10.2011 Dsr
