HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Crl.P. No.12150 OF 2010 O R D E R : This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing the proceedings in Crime No.384 of 2010 of Sircilla Police Station, Karimnagar District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. Perused the records. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent, police registered a case in Crime No.384 of 2010 against the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 for the offences under Sections 323 and 504 of IPC. Investigation is stated to be pending. As seen from the contents of the complaint, specific allegation is made against the petitioners to the effect that on 25.09.2010 at 10.00 A.M. when the complainant was going to his field through Grampanchayath, the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 obstructed the complainant and abused him in filthy language and beat him with hands all over the body. The learned counsel for the petitioners submit that earlier a complaint in F.I.R.No.151 of 2010 was registered against the complainant and others for the offences under Sections 324 and 506 r/w 34 IPC and the petitioners herein were named as witnesses therein and after investigation charge sheet was also filed against the complainant herein and as a counter-blast to the same the present complaint is lodged by the complainant with the delay of about two months. Be that as it may, the fact remains that specific allegation of physical assault has been made in the complaint against the petitioners and the truth or otherwise thereof can be ascertained only after necessary investigation is made into the complaint and the same cannot be considered at this stage. In the circumstances, it is not a fit case to quash the investigation in Crime No.384 of 2010 by invoking the inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 08th December, 2010 PNV
