THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 5523 of 2011 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in F.I.R.No.145 of 2011 on the file of Kankipadu Police Station, Vijayawada, Krishna District for the offence under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”). The learned counsel for the accused-petitioner contends that there are series of civil litigations between the parties and in fact the property disputes were also there and this is an abuse of process of law. However, prima facie the statement of the victim says that an offence under Section 354 of IPC has been committed. At this stage, it is very difficult to accept it as true or not without further investigation by the police. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the request for quashing of the proceedings is dismissed. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the I Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada and on such surrender he shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) with one surety for the likesum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate, Vijayawada and the petitioner shall be available for interrogation as and when called for by the police. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 12-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
