HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.720 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.1, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in S.T.C.No.137 of 2009 on the file of the II Addl. Junior Civil Judge (II Class Magistrate), Sattenapalli. Heard both sides. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Section 188 IPC and 30(1)(a) of the Indian Police Act. In view of the provisions of Cr.P.C., to proceed under Section 188 IPC, the complaint should be lodged by the person who promulgated the prohibitory orders. Admittedly, in the present case, the complaint was lodged by the Sub Inspector of Police, Muppalla P.S. who is not the person who promulgated the prohibitory orders. Hence, this Court is of the view that the present complaint amounts to abuse of process. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner herein in S.T.C.No.137 of 2009 on the file of the II Addl. Junior Civil Judge (II Class Magistrate), Sattenapalli, are hereby quashed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 9th February, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.720 of 2010 (Allowed) 9th February, 2011 CBS
