THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10186 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.280 of 2011 on the file of the Station House Officer, Piduguralla Police Station, Guntur District, wherein the petitioners were arrayed as Accused Nos.1 to 5 for the offences punishable under Sections 447, 427, 506 of I.P.C. and 3(i)(x) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. On a perusal of the records, it is seen that there are certain civil disputes between the petitioners and the defacto complainant in connection with some property. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and as there is a possibility of settlement between the parties in future, this Court is of the view that the investigation can be completed without making arrest of the petitioners. Hence, the respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioners herein and file final report either way. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated :21st October, 2011 pnb
