THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 13733 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.135 of 2011 of Ananthapur Rural Police Station, Ananthapur District, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 324 read with 34 IPC and 3(1)(x) and 3(1) (xi) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. 2. This court perused the record and heard the arguments. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. In any event, as the offence arises out of some land dispute, even though there are some specific allegations, the respondent-police are hereby directed to investigate the matter without arresting the petitioners and file final report either way. 3. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 27th December 2011 Rns
