IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH: HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF DECEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN Present: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.12478 of 2010 Between: Pallepati Sathyanarayana and three others … Petitioners A n d State of A.P., rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and 9 others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.P.No.12478 of 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., for quashing further proceedings against the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 in Cr.No.240 of 2010 of Yadagirigutta Police Station, Nalgonda District. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. Petitioners/A-1 to A-4 are accused of offences under Sections 324 and 34 IPC in Cr.No.240 of 2010, registered on the basis of a complaint given by respondents 2 to 10. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners gave a complaint against the respondents alleging offences under Sections 143, 147, 149, 324, 427 and 452 IPC against the respondents, which was registered as Cr.No.239 of 2010 and investigated also and as a counter-blast, the present complaint is lodged by the respondents against the petitioners in Cr.No.240 of 2010. 4. As seen from the record, both parties have made allegations of physical assault against one another. The offences in Cr.No.239 of 2010, registered on the basis of the complaint given by the petitioners, were duly investigated. In the present complaint lodged by the respondents herein, it is specifically alleged that the petitioners have attacked them with iron rods, stones and chappals. Both the F.I.Rs i.e., Cr.Nos.239 and 240 of 2010 were registered on 23-11-2010. The time and date of occurrence mentioned in both the F.I.Rs is one and the same i.e., 1345 hours on 23-11-2010. Thus, it is a case and counter-case where both parties have made allegations against one another. When one case is said to have been investigated by police, the other case also needs to be investigated into, to find out the truth. Hence, it is considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C and quash further investigation in Cr.No.240 of 2010. The investigation has to go on. 5. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 16th December. 2010 Lrkm
