THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.5035 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in F.I.R. No.621 of 2009, of Panjagutta Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Section 3 (1)(x) of the S.Cs and S.Ts (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,1989 (for short, the Act). When the matter is called, the learned counsel for the petitioner is absent, even though a specific mention is made in the cause list that no adjournments will be given. It is represented by some other advocate that the learned counsel for the petitioner is hospitalised. But, on perusal of the material available on record, it is evident that the offence is punishable under Section 3(1)(x) of the Act, and there is no provision under the Act, to grant the anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the concerned police are directed to complete the investigation of the case and file the final report either way without arresting the petitioner. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:29.09.2011. Gk.
