HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8321 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.89 of 2010 of Basanth Nagar Police Station, Karimnagar District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 337 IPC and Sections 9(b), 1(b) and 3 of the Explosives Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were falsely implicated in the crime and on the false information given by their business rivals, the defacto complainant, 2nd respondent herein, lodged the complaint with the police against them alleging that without having valid licence, they carried out blasting operations resulting in an injury to his son. Therefore, he prayed to quash the Crime. The petitioners and the defacto complainant and his son are present. The 2nd respondent produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. He stated that he came to know from his son that his son fell down on his own and no blasting operations took place as alleged in the complaint and, therefore, he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. He also filed an affidavit before this Court, which runs as follows: “I have filed a complaint in Crime No.89 of 2010 on the file of P.S. Basanth Nagar on the information received from Bodasu Madunaiah and Tapala Rayamallu about the incident occurred to my son Chetti Ramesh on 16.07.2010. The above persons informed me that due to the illegal blasting my son received blood injury to his left eye. Basing on the information, I have lodged the complaint against the petitioners herein. Subsequently, I learnt from my son that he has fallen down at his work place on his own and he has not sustained any injury and he is alright. Even now, my son is very well and he has not received any injury. After receiving the information from my son, I approached the police authorities and requested them to allow me to withdraw the complaint as there was no such incident took place on 16.07.2010 and my son fell down on his own. But, the police did not allow me to withdraw the same and on the other hand they are harassing me and my family members and threatening me not to withdraw the complaint and further directed me to continue the prosecution against the accused in Crime No.89 of 2010 on the file of the P.S. Basanth Nagar without any valid reason. On 16.07.2010 as per the information submitted by the victim i.e. my son Chetti Ramesh, there was no such incident took place and my son has not received any injuries as alleged in the complaint. Further, the victim i.e. my son is also filing his affidavit. I learnt that the persons who gave false information to me are the business rivalry of the petitioners. I am not interested in prosecuting the case as there was no incident took place and the same is lodged on the false information given to me. Hence, I request the Court to quash the proceedings in Crime No.89 of 2010 on the file of P.S. Basanth Nagar, Karimnagar District.” In the light of the affidavit filed by the defacto complainant, this Court is of the view that the Crime can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and Crime No.89 of 2010 of Basanth Nagar Police Station, Karimnagar District, is hereby quashed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 13th August, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8321 of 2010 (Allowed) 13th August, 2010 CBS
