IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.2614 of 2009 Between:- A.Revanth Reddy …Petitioner A n d The State of A.P., Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.2614 of 2009 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C for quashing the F.I.R., against the petitioner/A-1 in Cr.No.51 of 2009 of Kodangal Police Station, Mahabubnagar District. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. On a complaint given by the second respondent herein, the police registered a case in Cr.No.51 of 2009 against the petitioner/ A-1 and several others for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 307, 324, 427, 290, 291 read with Section 149 IPC. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that even by the date of filing of the petition, the investigation was completed and 16 witnesses were examined, as can be seen from the remand case diary dated 20-04-2009. As seen from the said remand case diary, the petitioner/A-1 was arrayed as A-13 and it was only noted therein that as per the version of L.Ws.2 to 9, who are the eye-witnesses, A-13 and A-14 were not involved in the above offences, but, however, investigation is going on and some more witnesses are yet to be examined to establish the prima facie case against A-13 and A-14. 5. Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that most of the investigation is already over, including examination of several witnesses, it is considered that question of quashing the F.I.R., at this stage does not arise. 6. The petition is, therefore, dismissed, with liberty to the petitioner to challenge the charge sheet, if any, that may be filed against him. Interim stay granted earlier stands vacated. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 09th December, 2010 Lrkm.
