THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 12683 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners/Accused Nos. 2 and 3 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No. 107 of 2009 on the file of P.S. Kodair, Mahabubnagar District. The oﬀences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 376, 417, 420, 506 read with 109 I.P.C. and Sections 3(1)(x) of Scs. & STs. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. A perusal of the complaint reveals that there is a love aﬀair between the de facto- complainant and Accused No.1. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners, who were arrayed as Accused No. 2 and 3 have nothing to do with the commission of offence. The respondent police are not taking any eﬀorts to arrest the petitioners. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and also the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent police are directed to conduct the investigation without arresting the petitioners, and file a final report either way. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 24th November 2011 ksld
