THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11442 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the Petitioners-Accused Nos. 1 and 2 under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.267 of 2011 of Alipiri Police Station, Chittoor District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 402 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the de facto complainant has filed the complaint only to harass the petitioner and the petitioners have never transacted with the de facto complainant and prayed to quash the impugned proceedings. On perusal of the entire material available on record, it is clear that there are some civil disputes between the parties and this is a matter which has to be investigated by the police. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings in the said crime at this stage. 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:17.11.2011 CHV
