THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 12016 of 2010 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short “Cr.P.C.”) to quash the proceedings in Crime No.133 of 2010 on the file of the Town Police Station, Sathenapalli, Guntur District. The crime was registered on a private complaint for the offences under Sections 465, 468 and 480 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”). The gist of the complaint is that the accused-petitioners are said to have fabricated some documents and in connection with those documents a civil suit is also said to be filed and is pending. However, the mere pendency of the civil suit will not bar the police from investigation into the truth or otherwise of the criminal complaint. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, I find no substance in the request of the petitioners to quash the F.I.R. However, the petitioners plead that their arrest may be stayed till the completion of the investigation. Therefore, taking into consideration of the above fact, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sathenapalli and on such surrender they shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each with one surety for the likesum each to the satisfaction of the above Court and they shall appear before the police, Sathenapalli on every Monday and Thursday for about two weeks and explain their defence to the criminal complaint and the police shall consider them and dispose of the same. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 01-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
