THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6493 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in P.R.C.No.71 of 2010 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tanuku, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 342, 324, 326, 307 and 332 IPC read with 149 IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The main grievance of the petitioners herein is that at the initial stage of investigation, their names were not mentioned in the first information report and during the subsequent investigation, they were added as accused and their names were not even mentioned in the 161 statements recorded by the police. 4. In that view of the matter, the petitioners are at liberty to file a discharge petition along with the statements recorded by the respondent-police under Section 161 Cr.P.C. On such filing, the learned Magistrate is directed to consider the same favourably. 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. 3rd August 2011, Rns.
