THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13956 OF 2011 ORDER:- This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.28 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Utnoor. The police after investigation have filed charge sheet against ten accused under Sections 148, 324, 354, 506 read with 149 of the Indian Penal Code (for short, ‘IPC'’) as there is said to be some outraging modesty of LW.2. The statements of the witnesses have been recorded and their statements prima facie shows the offences are said to have been committed by the petitioner. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that there was a counter case and it is only an attempt to cause inconvenience to the petitioners and an abuse of process of law cannot be considered at this stage since the prima facie statement of the victim attracting the offence under Section 354 IPC is available on record. Therefore, it is not a case for quashing of the proceedings. But, however, the petitioners are at liberty to make their submissions at the time of framing of the charge after the case is committed to the Court of Sessions. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date: 29-12-2011 INL/MR
