THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4617 of 2011 Date: 16th June, 2011 Between: Vadrevu Jeevaratnamani and 4 others … Petitioners And State of A.P. Rep by Public Prosecutor and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No: 4617 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners are stated to be A1 to A5 in Crime No.58 of 2011 in P.S.Nallakunta, Hyderabad. They filed this petition to quash the said FIR. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 420 and 406 IPC. The allegations are that the petitioners agreed to sell some land to the 2nd respondent and executed an agreement of sale, and later on, the petitioners sold away the said land to a third party after having received Rs.10 lakhs from the 2nd respondent. The petitioners’ counsel says that the matter is of civil nature. It may, however, be noted that the case is still at the stage of FIR and investigation is to be made. Having regard to the agreement of sale in question and also the sale deed executed in favour of the third party, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case for quashing the FIR. However, having regard to the submissions made by the petitioners’ counsel, the police are directed to take a decision with regard to the arrest of the petitioners after completion of investigation. With this direction, this petition is dismissed. _____________________________ JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Date: 16th June, 2011 KSM
