HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9519 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 4, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.90 of 2011 of P.S. Sambepalli, YSR District Kadapa, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 5 of the E.S. Act and 25(1-B) of the Arms Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners has mainly contended that the petitioners were in illegal custody of the police from 12.08.2011 to 16.08.2011, whereas in the complaint they were shown as arrested only on 16.08.2011. He further contended that at the time of remand of A.1, A.1 has given a lengthy statement in which he has stated that the police beat him and thereby he was compelled to confess the offence and revealed the name of the petitioners herein. He further submitted that he is relying on the paper publications and also the statement of wife of 1st petitioner with regard to the arrest of the petitioners. This Court is of the view that the said statements are not having any evidentiary value and they cannot be taken up at the time of invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the crime. Hence, this Court is of the view that the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners are not merit acceptance. Hence, the same are liable to be rejected. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed and miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 12th October, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.9519 of 2011 (Dismissed) 12th October, 2011 cbs
