THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.8271 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner-accused preferred this Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, seeking to quash the proceedings in crime No.104 of 2011 of Mirchowk Police Station, Hyderabad, filed for the offences under Sections 145, 341, 290, 336, 188 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and 21/76 of the C.P. Act. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that after obtaining permission from the Commissioner to take out procession on 1 elephant, 3 camels and 8 horses with band, the petitioner joined the said procession and further, it is stated that the petitioner has not committed any offence. This Court perused the complaint. In the said complaint, it is stated as under. “Mirza Riaz-ul-Hassan affandi, Corporator, Noor Khan Bazar, (GHMC) joined the procession along with 60 members unlawfully and stopped the procession which was passing thus wrongfully restraining the passing of the procession and the free flow of traffic and created public nuisance by bursting the crackers endangering the human lives and disobeying the orders of the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, when I along with DI, Chatrinaka PS, Inspector of Police Mirchowk PS objected to bursting the crackers they started arguing with us and objected us from performing our legitimate duties and when we tried to pacify them that the elephant, Camels and horses which are leading the procession may get disturbed due to bursting of the crackers and may go out of hand and may endanger the public lives, he did not listen and started bursting the crackers continuously.” Thus, the above paragraph indicates that the said procession led to confusion in that area and also created public nuisance and the petitioner disobeyed the orders of the Commissioner. This Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage and accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________ (RAJA ELANGO, J) 12th September 2011 RRB
