IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD FRIDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3419 OF 2008 Between: Mir Shaukat Ali and others … PETITIONERS And Samena Fatima and another … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3419 OF 2008 ORDER: 1. The petitioner Nos.1 to 3 are Correspondent, Principal and Employee of Datar Vocational Junior College, Hyderabad. The brother of the respondent No.1/de facto complainant was a student in that college. Without bringing record, brother of the respondent No.1 wanted to attend practical examinations and he was prevented from taking practical examination on that ground and also on the ground of coming late to the examination. Then that student telephoned to his family members. Thereupon the respondent No.1 along with her brothers and others came to the college. When they were prevented from entering into the college premises by A2, who is the Principal, she was abused in filthy language and she was beaten with hands and was pushed on her chest and was threatened to commit rape on her. Thereupon A2 gave report to the Abid Road Police, Hyderabad and her report was registered as case in Cr.No.194 of 2008 against the respondent No.1 and her family members for offence under Section 448, 354, 323 and 506 I.P.C. on 04.06.2008. 2. While so, on 07.06.2008 the respondent No.1 gave another report to the Abid Road Police alleging offence against the petitioner Nos.1 to 3/A1 to A3 under Sections 354 and 323 I.P.C. It is alleged that when the respondent No.1 went to the college premises, she found her brother being beaten and that when she questioned the Principal (A2) about it, A2 used filthy language against her and her brother and instructed A1 and A3 to drive her out of college physically by pushing her and that thereupon A1 and A3 pushed her away from the college by catching hold of her tuft of hair and removed her veil from her body and by dragging her by holding her hands and waist. 3. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that Cr.No.199 of 2008 registered at the instance of the respondent No.1 is nothing but a counter blast for Cr.No.194 of 2008. Even though brother of the respondent No.1 was arrested in Cr.No.194 of 2008, the respondent No.1 was out of custody. If really what was alleged in the present report happened, nothing prevented the respondent No.1 from giving report to the police on the same date of offence i.e., 04.06.2008. It is evident that the respondent No.1 has choosen to give report three days after the alleged occurrence, as a counter blast for Cr.No.194 of 2008 and as an arm-twisting device in order to coerce the petitioners to enter into compromise. This is nothing but sheer abuse of process of law and it would not be allowed to go on. 4. Hence, the Criminal Petition is allowed quashing proceedings in Cr.No.199 of 2008 of Abid Police Station, Hyderabad. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 23, 2010 MD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.3419 OF 2008 July 23, 2010
