HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1101 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-accused approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in Crime No.12 of 2001 on the file of Nampally Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 353, 506 and 504 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were not present in the place of occurrence as they were removed by the Police at about 12 noon and were kept in the Police Station. On perusal of the complaint, it is evident that the occurrence took place at 12 noon and the case was registered at 2.30 pm. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the said F.I.R. But, in any event, taking into consideration the facts of the case, the respondent-Police is directed to strictly follow the amended provisions of Section 41 Cr.P.C. if they decide to arrest the accused. With the above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 07th February, 2011 DR
