THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10085 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.221 of 2011 of Sanga Reddy Town P.S., Medak District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 363, 506, 384, 323 read with Section 34 of IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of S.C., S.T.C., POA Act, 1989. On perusal of the entire material available on record, it is clear that there are some allegations against the petitioner-Accused No.1, who are arrayed as Accused. It is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner-Accused No. 1 that the defacto complainant is a stranger to the petitioner-Accused No.1 and the petitioner-Accused No.1 has no chance to know the name of the caste of the defacto complainant and there is every possibility of settlement between the parties and his arrest may cause prejudice in the future settlement. 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 i.e. Station House Officer, Sanga Reddy Town P.S., Medak District is directed to complete the investigation of the case within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and file the final report either way without arresting the petitioner-accused No. 1. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ RAJA ELANGO, J Date:20.10.2011. CHV
