THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12357 OF 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is ﬁled by the petitioner- accused seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No. 81 of 2011 on the ﬁle of Chowdepalli Police Station, Chittoor District. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 13.11.2011, the deceased Anjappa went to Chowdepalli along with the cows to his ﬁelds and as the cows did not return home, the 1st respondent, wife of the deceased enquired about the cows. Then the deceased replied that in the afternoon, he tied the cows in the petitioner’s ﬁelds and cut one tree. At that time, the petitioner came there and bet the deceased with hands and abused him. Unable to bear the same, the deceased informed that he has lost interest in life due to the said incident and committed suicide. Heard. A perusal of the material available on record shows that the allegations levelled against the petitioner does not attract the oﬀence under Section 3(1)(2)(v) of SCs. & STs. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. As far as the oﬀence under Section 306 I.P.C. is concerned, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no inducement on the part of the petitioner herein and the crime was registered based on the statement given by the 1st respondent, wife of the deceased. Admittedly, the matter is at the stage of investigation. Whatever may be the allegation against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to go into the truth or otherwise of the same. Therefore, this Court considers it appropriate to direct the respondent police to complete the investigation without making the arrest of the petitioner. With this, the Criminal Petition stands disposed of. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01st December 2011 ksld
