No.2878 of 2011 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 31st day of August 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is the 3rd accused in Crime No.867 of 2011 of Kunnamkulam Police Station. The alleged incident took place on 4.7.2011. The de facto complainant sustained serious injuries. Hence the crime was registered against the three accused including the petitioner alleging offences punishable under Secs.341, 323, 324 and 326 r/w Sec.34 IPC. It is pending the investigation. Petitioner requests that the F.I.R. be quashed on the ground that the police recorded the statement only on 6.7.2011. The statement shows that the injured was immediately taken to the hospital and was admitted there on 4.7.2011 itself. The fact that the police reached the hospital to record the statement only on 6.7.2011 is not a ground to quash the F.I.R. The investigation must have its natural culmination. Hence, I Crl.M.C. No.2878 of 2011 -: 2 :- find no reason to invoke the jurisdiction under Sec.482 Cr.P.C. This Crl.M.C. is dismissed as above. N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Jvt
