THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJU CRIMINAL PETITION No.6435 of 2009 BETWEEEN: 1. Sriramula Venugopala Chari & 8 others. … Petitioners AND 1. The State of A.P. & another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.6435 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 9/A1 to A9 are accused of offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 324, 506/149 I.P.C. in CC.No.620 of 2008 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Siricilla. The genesis of the dispute is relating to constructions in S.No.703 at Siricilla Village. It is alleged that when the prosecution party was constructing community hall and completed upto slab, A1 to A9 formed themselves into unlawful assembly armed with crow bars and spades and went there and dismantled it and that when witness Nos.1 to 8 rushed to the spot and obstructed the accused, they threatened them with dire consequences to kill them if they entered into the said land and that A3 beat witness Nos. 5 and 8 with crow bars causing bleeding injuries to them. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that the dispute is a civil dispute between the parties regarding land and that in the transaction, no one suffered any serious injuries and that the alleged injured did not go to any Government hospital but went to private hospital. Though genesis of the dispute may be a civil dispute regarding land, the said civil dispute has turned into a criminal offence when the alleged attack was made with crow bars and spades causing bleeding injuries to two of the opposite group persons. Therefore, it cannot be said that the allegations in the charge sheet do not constitute the offences for which the charge sheet was filed. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to quash the proceedings in the lower Court, without trial. 2. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J Dated: 07.04.2011 ysk THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJUL CRIMINAL PETITION No.6435 of 2009 DATED: 07.04.2011 ysk
