IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.3997 OF 2011 DATE:07.06.2011 Between: Smt A. Kalpana and another .... Petitioner And: The State of A.p., rep. By PP and another ....Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.3997 OF 2011 ORDER: This is a petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C to quash the F.I.R in Crime No.19 of 2011 of Podalakuru Police Station in Nellore District. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 143, 448 and 427 of IPC and also under Section 3 (1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short, the Act). The petitioners are stated to be A.2 and A.3. The grievance of the petitioners is that the 2nd respondent herein is a tenant in the house of the 1st accused i.e., the husband of the first petitioner herein and a dispute broke out when they called upon him to vacate the house and that resulted in the filing of this false complaint. It may be noted that it is difficult to pronounce one way or the other regarding the falsity or genuineness of the complaint in a quash petition as it is a disputed question of fact. It is also to be noted that there is no provision for anticipatory bail for offences falling under the Act. It is, however, urged that the 1st petitioner who is a lady aged about 28 years is totally innocent and she has been dragged into the matter only because of her husband. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that there are no merits in this petition for admission and it is accordingly dismissed. However, regarding the apprehension expressed by the first petitioner about her arrest, and in the circumstances of this case, the police can decide about her arrest after the completion of investigation. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR,J Date: 07.06.2011. Gk. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.
