THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7288 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach the Court with a prayer to quash the First Information Report in Crime No. 248 of 2011 on the file of Jagtial P.S., wherein the petitioners were arrayed as Accused Nos. 1 to 10 for offences punishable under Sections 120B, 420, 425, 324, 504, 506(2) of I.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted the following points for consideration: The 2nd respondent and the 1st petitioner are father and son and the second petitioner is the wife of the first petitioner and petitioners 3 to 5 are the persons related to both the first petitioner as well as the complainant. It is further submitted that certain civil disputes are pending between the parties in O.S. Nos. 1 of 2007 and 130 of 2007. It is further submitted that the said property was purchased jointly in the year 1993. Learned counsel vehemently contended that the complaint does not disclose an offence under Section 420 of IPC. It is true that on a reading of the complaint, some of the provisions of law mentioned in the last paragraph are not tallying with each other, but at the same time, the contents in the complaint disclose some cognizable offences. It is the grievance of the 2nd respondent that the first petitioner obtained licence to run a lodge by informing the authorities that he is the owner of the premises and also he was threatened by the petitioners. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and having perused the material on record, this Court is of the view that this is a matter to be investigated into by the investigating agency. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. Learned counsel further submitted that there is apprehension of arrest at the hands of 1st respondent-police. If there is any such apprehension, the petitioners are at liberty to file a petition before the District and Sessions Court, Karimnagar for anticipatory bail and urge all the contentions raised before this Court in the said petition. On such petition being filed, the District and Sessions Court, Karimnagar is directed to consider the same favourably since the dispute is between father and sons. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 23rd August, 2011 pnb
