THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2095 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in Crime No.607 of 2008 of III Town Police Station, Visakhapatnam, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 376 IPC and 3(i)(xii) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the case was transferred to some other police station on point of jurisdiction and the said police after investigation recorded that the petitioner has not committed the offence under Section 376 IPC. But in any event the investigating agency is proceeding as far as the other offences are concerned. Hence, this court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 11th February 2011 Rns
