THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.No.7602 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court with a prayer to quash the First Information Report in Cr.No.17 of 2010 of Police Station Prathipadu, East Godavari District. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation in the complaint is pertaining to the year 2004 and the petitioner who is a Village Revenue Officer was transferred to the place where the offence took place only in the year, 2009 whereas the police recorded accused No.17 as the Village Revenue Officer of the said village in the F.I.R. Learned counsel further submits that since accused No.17 was recorded as the Village Revenue Officer of the said village, the petitioner apprehends arrest in the hands of the respondent-police. From a perusal of the entire records filed by the petitioner, nowhere the name of the petitioner is incorporated by the police as accused except recording accused No.17 as the Village Revenue Officer of the said village. Hence, this Court is of the view that the proceedings cannot be stayed at this stage. The petitioner apprehends arrest in the hands of the police. He can very well approach the District and Sessions Judge and file an application for anticipatory bail stating the said facts. On filing of such application, the Sessions Court is directed to consider the same, if the petitioner is not the Village Revenue Officer during the relevant period as alleged in the complaint. The respondent-police are directed to file counter or their report regarding the person who actually involved in the crime. With the above observation, the petition is disposed of. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated: 26.08.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.No.7602 of 2011 Dt. 26.08.2011
