HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3877 OF 2010 Date: 28.04.2010 Between: Smt P. Nagalakshmi Devi ……Petitioner And: The State of A.P., rep. by its PP and another ……Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3877 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner/A-1 is accused of offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. A-1 is owner of the disputed land and she said to have sold the said land to the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant under an agreement for sale. The 2nd respondent filed suit in civil court for specific performance and then the matter went in appeal and also in Second Appeal before this Court. At that stage, A-1 is stated to have sold the disputed land to A-2 under a registered sale deed with a view to cheat the 2nd respondent. Private complaint filed by the 2nd respondent before the Magistrate was referred to the police for investigation under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. It is stated that the police are yet to register the private complaint as crime and are yet to issue FIR. A-1 who is the petitioner apprehends that she may be arrested even without issuing FIR and both the things may happen simultaneously. Having regard to allegations made in the petition, I do not find any valid or legal reasons to intercept investigation of this case at this threshold. Hence, the petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner/A-1 is at liberty to surrender before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Adoni on or before 12.05.2010 in C.F.R.No.885 of 2010, in which event she shall be released on bail on furnishing personal bond for Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) together with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the same Magistrate. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Date:28.04.2010.
