THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6028 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in F.I.R. No. 105 of 2010 on the file of the Station House Officer, V. Satram Police Station, wherein the petitioners were arrayed as Accused Nos.1 to 9 for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 506, 504 of I.P.C. and 3(i)(x) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the Respondent No.2 is not present. The Crime is registered in the year 2010 on the basis of reference by a Magistrate under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and as there is a possibility of compromise between the parties in future, this Court is of the view that the investigation can be completed without making arrest of the petitioners. Hence, the respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioners herein. Further, the petitioners are also directed to cooperate with the investigating officer in completion of the case. They are also directed to appear before the investigating officer, as and when required by him. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated :20th October, 2011 pnb
