THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13262 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.331 of 2011 on the file of the Additional Junior Civil Judge, Huzurabad, Karimnagar District, of the Jammikunta P.S., registered for the offences under Sections 323 IPC and 3 (x) (i) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. 2. Heard. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no way concerned with the alleged crime and that the continuation of proceedings against the petitioner is nothing but abuse of process of law and hence he prays to allow the petition. 4. A perusal of the record discloses that the petitioner and the 1st respondent are employer and employee and there are some disputes between them. There are specific allegations against the petitioner and this is a matter, which has to be investigated by the police. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings in the said crime at this stage. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the concerned police are directed to complete the investigation of the case and file the final report either way without arresting the petitioner. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed in this Criminal Petition, shall stand closed. ______________ RAJA ELANGO, J December 20, 2011. KTL
