THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 1160 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash F.I.R No.13 of 2009 of Sarpavaram police station, Kakinada, East Godavari district, and for a consequential direction to the court below not to entertain any application filed by the defacto complainant against the petitioners under the same sections. It is not in dispute that, on 10.1.2006, the second respondent herein filed a complaint under Section 190 Cr.P.C. for the offences under Sections 498A, 420, 379 read with 34 I.P.C. against the petitioners. On 23.01.2006, the complaint was forwarded to concerned police for investigation. Basing on the same, police registered a case on 12.10.2006 for the offences under Sections 498A, 420, 379 read with 34 I.P.C. After conducting enquiry, police submitted a final report stating that the accused agreed to return back share in gold and silver articles and accordingly they returned the said articles to the complainant, and that as her husband already died, her properties were returned and hence the complainant requested to drop further action on her report. Therefore, police filed report to refer the complaint as mistake of fact. The same was accepted by the court below. Thereafter, the present complaint is filed on 1.12.2008. The allegations in both the complaints, in verbatim, are one and the same. There are no fresh allegations relating to the period subsequent to acceptance of the final report in the competent court, attracting any one of the penal provisions. In the above circumstances, continuation of the impugned proceedings is nothing but abuse of process of Court as they were already investigated into by the investigating officer and a final report was also filed. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, allowed and the proceedings in F.I.R No.13 of 2009 of Sarpavaram police station, Kakinada, East Godavari district are quashed. ---------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 06.10.2009 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 1160 of 2009 Date: 6.10.2009 Between: Singapuram Sundaramma & others …Petitioners And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Public Prosecutor & another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 1160 of 2009 06.10.2009
