IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRL.P.NO.230 OF 2008. Date:24.12.2009 Between:- Pasula Kistaiah ..Petitioner And The State of A.P., represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. .. Respondent ORDER:- The petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed to quash the F.I.R. bearing No.3 dated 06.01.2008 filed against the petitioner by the revenue officials on the file of Toopran Police Station, Toopran village and Mandal, Medak District. The allegation is that the petitioner trespassed into the government land and got dug a bore well and thereby, committed a criminal trespass into the government land and caused damage to the land. Basing on the report of the revenue officials, the police registered a case in F.I.R.No.3 of 2008 for the offences under Sections 447 and 427 I.P.C. Inherent powers under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. can be exercised to prevent abuse of process of Court or to secure the ends of Justice or to carry out the orders passed under this Code. It is equally well settled that if the allegations in the complaint do not make out prima-facie offences punishable under Sections 447 and 427 I.P.C., then only the question of quashing the complaint arises. When an allegation of the complaint made out a cognizable offence, it is the statutory duty of the police to conduct investigation and that statutory duty cannot be curtailed. The contention of the petitioner that the land in question belonging to the petitioner cannot be decided and determined at this stage. Therefore, there are no grounds to quash the F.I.R. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _​__________ K.C.BHANU, J 24th December, 2009 AMD
