THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10561 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.186 of 2011 of Moinabad Police Station, Cyberabad, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 477-A of IPC and 8 of A.P. Public Examinations (Prevention of malpractices) Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. A perusal of the record shows that there are prima facie allegations against the petitioner attracting the ingredients of the alleged offence. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage, as the matter is still under investigation. 4. After arguing for some time, when this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioner, learned counsel for the petitioner by withdrawing the main prayer, prayed this Court to direct the police officials to follow Section 41 Cr.P.C. while conducting investigation. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed as withdrawn. In any event, considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent police are hereby directed to strictly follow the latest amendments made in Section 41 Cr.P.C. 6. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 2nd November 2011, Rns
