THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.10121 OF 2010 Dated 29th April, 2010 Between: Mohd. Babu …Petitioner And The Station House Officer, Rajendranagar Police Station, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District and another. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Mr.Sreekanth Reddy Ambati Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Home Counsel for respondent No.2: ----- The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents, in interfering with the petitioner’s personal liberty in the guise of investigation, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner is accused in Crime No.1312 of 2009 of respondent No.1- Police Station, registered on 19-12-2009 for offences under Sections 420, 323, 506, 382 and 354 IPC. In the report given by respondent No.2, it is inter alia stated that on 04-12-2009 in the evening hours she visited the house of the petitioner along with her son Anthony Barla and her well wishers and requested the petitioner to return the amount of Rs.4 lakhs borrowed by him from her husband and that instead of returning the said amount, the petitioner is stated to have abused respondent No.2 in the most filthy language and threatened her with dire consequences. The petitioner is also stated to have asked respondent No.2 to fulfil his sexual desire so that he will return the money to respondent No.2 and that when she tried to come out of the petitioner’s house, the latter caught hold of her hands and tried to outrage her modesty by pulling her in a room. It is further alleged that with great difficulty respondent No.2 escaped from the clutches of the petitioner and that the petitioner snatched away her baggage containing a purse with an amount of Rs.3,500/- and a gold chain of two Tulas. At the hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent and the ingredients of the offences for which the above-mentioned Crime is booked are not satisfied in the present case. As held by the Apex Court in State of Haryana vs. Bhajan Lal[1], unless the allegations contained in the FIR on their face value do not constitute commission of any offence, the Court cannot entertain petitions either under Article 226 of the Constitution of India or under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the criminal proceedings at the investigation stage. On a careful reading of the allegations contained in the FIR, it cannot be said that no offence is made out. Whether the petitioner has committed the alleged offences or not is required to be investigated into by the investigating agency. In this view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.12996 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
