IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.8442 of 2011 DATE: 15.09.2011 Between: Chitti Babu …… Petitioner And The State of A.P, through S.H.O, Machavaram P.S Vijayawada City, Krishna District and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.8442 of 2011 ORDER : The petitioner is accused of offences punishable under Sections 354, 448 and 506 I.P.C. He seeks quashing of F.I.R in this crime in exercise of power under Section 482 Cr.P.C herein. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that this report is given as counter blast for crime No.86/2011 instituted by the petitioner’s sister against six of the accused therein for offences under Section 498-A I.P.C and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. A-6 in Crime No.86/2011 is the defacto- complainant/2nd respondent herein. It is contended that with a view to coerce for compromise in Crime No.86/2011, this false case was instituted. It is further contended that the petitioner is a Government employee and that on the date of alleged offence he was on duty. The truth or otherwise of the allegations in the present Crime No.551/2011 as well as alibi pleaded by the petitioner are questions of fact, which this Court cannot go into in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. It is a matter for investigation. Simply because a case filed by the petitioner’s sister against her husband and family members is pending, one cannot jump to the conclusion that this is a counter blast for that one. There are no valid grounds in this petition for granting any relief to the petitioner. 2) Hence, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J September 15, 2011 ksh
