THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6441 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings in Crime No.149 of 2011 of Intezargunj Police Station, Warangal Urban, wherein the petitioner is arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The case of the complainant is that the petitioner and other accused lured him and his friends by taking an amount of Rs.2,10,000/- under the guise that they will facilitate the complainant and his friends to write I.T.I.exams in Warangal and make sure to pass in the said exams. Later, they came to know that the petitioner herein and other accused cheated them. 4. This Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioner at the threshold, since the matter is at the stage of investigation. If the petitioner apprehends arrest in the hands of the respondent-police, he is at liberty to approach the District and Sessions Judge, Warangal by way of filing application seeking anticipatory bail. On such filing of application, the learned District and Sessions Judge is directed to consider the same favourably, since the petitioner is aged about 70 years and the investigation also based on the confession of co-accused. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 24th August 2011, Rns.
