THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10137 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner – accused approached this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No. 340 of 2010 on the file of the II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad whereby he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Section 506 I.P.C. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there are no essential ingredients in the complaint to constitute the offence under Section 506 I.P.C. The copy of the complaint is not filed. From a perusal of the charge sheet it is clear that on receipt of the complaint a case was registered under Section 506 I.P.C. Criminal Intimidation is explained under Section 503 I.P.C., which reads as follows. Criminal Intimidation: Whoever threatens another with any injury to his person, reputation or property, or to the person or reputation of any one in whom that person is interested, with intent to cause alarm to that person, or to cause that person to do any act which he is not legally bound to do, or to omit to do any act which that person is legally entitled to do, as the means of avoiding the execution of such threats, commits criminal intimidation. Explanation: A threat to injure the reputation of any deceased person in whom the person threatened is interested is within this section. From a reading of the order dated 06.04.2010 in W.P.No.3034 of 2010 passed by his Lordship Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy wherein the contents of the complaint are recorded, it is clear that the petitioner has involved in committing the crime under Section 506 I.P.C. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings initiated against the petitioner. However, the presence of the petitioner- accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J.
