THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6812 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against her in Crime No.45 of 2011 of Pamuru Police Station, Prakasam District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 353 IPC. Heard both sides. Admittedly, prior to lodging of the present complaint against the petitioner herein by the de facto complainant/1st respondent herein, the petitioner lodged a complaint against the de facto complainant. This clearly indicates that the present complaint is lodged by the de facto complainant only with an intention to defeat the interests of the petitioner and also to get rid of the complaint lodged against him by the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the complaint lodged by the petitioner herein against the de facto complainant has already been withdrawn by the petitioner, therefore, prayed that the present complaint lodged against the petitioner may be quashed. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the present complaint against the petitioner is liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed quashing the proceedings against the petitioner in Crime No.45 of 2011 of Pamuru Police Station, Prakasam District. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 28.09.2011 v v
