THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8444 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner filed the present petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No. 81 of 2011 on the file of the Station House Officer, II Town Police Station, Chittoor for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 324, 435, 427, 506 (Part-II) IPC read with 149 and 109 of I.P.C. The petitioner is arrayed as Accused No.4 in the said crime. It is submitted by Sri C. Padmanabha Reddy, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that except the allegation that the accused persons informed the complainant party that they were sent by one Bullet Suresh, the brother of the petitioner herein, there are no specific overt-acts attributed against the petitioner in the First Information Report. However, that cannot be a ground to quash the proceedings and if the petitioner apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent-police, he is at liberty to file an application for anticipatory bail before the District and Sessions Judge, Chittoor. On such application being filed by the petitioner, the concerned District and Sessions Judge is directed to consider the same favourably since there are no specific overt-acts attributed against the petitioner herein. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 14th September, 2011 pnb
