HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10407 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against her in Crime No.106 of 2011 of Rajampet Urban P.S., Y.S.R. District. Heard and perused the record. The offences alleged against the petitioner and other accused are punishable under Sections 376, 313, 323, 506, 509, 420 read with Section 34 of IPC and 3(i)(x)(xi)(xii) and 2(v) of SCs & STs (POA) Act 1989. Admittedly, the matter is still at the stage of investigation. Further, the complaint prima facie reveals some allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner, at this stage. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case and also having considered the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that there is every possibility of settlement between the parties and if the petitioner is arrested at this stage that will cause prejudice to the future settlement between the parties, the police are hereby directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioner and after completion of investigation to file a final report either way before the competent Court. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 31st October, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.10407 of 2011 (Disposed of) 31st October, 2011 cbs
