HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2841 of 2005 DT.19.07.2010 M.V.Ramanath …Petitioner V. The State of A.P., rep. By Public Prosecutor and another … Respondents The Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2841 of 2005 ORDER:- The Petitioner, who is arrayed as accused in crime No.96 of 2005 on the file of Cyberabad Police Station, Moinabad, Rangareddy District registered for the offences punishable under Sections 506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 3(x) of the S.C., S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings initiated against him. The allegations in the complaint, prima facie, disclose a cognizable offence, which the police are bound to investigate and file a necessary report. The present case does not fall under any of the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (1992 Supp.(1) SCC 335) to scuttle the investigation at the initial stage. This Court, by order dated 08.06.2006, granted stay for a definite period of one week and thereafter the same was not extended. As the interim stay was not extended for further period, this Court is of the view that as of now the investigation might have been completed and the police might have filed the charge sheet. In view of the same, no ground is made out to quash the proceedings. The Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J 9th July 2010 lmv
