THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12104 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.21 of 2009 of Chilakalapudi P.S., Krishna District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 354 IPC and Section 3(x)(xi) of the S.Cs and S.Ts (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,1989. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant has lodged a complaint against the petitioner herein without obtaining sanction of the Government as required under Section 197 Cr.P.C and hence the petitioner filed W.P No.4983 of 2009 before this Court and obtained interim stay of all further proceedings by order dated 27.4.2009 and subsequently the same was withdrawn by the petitioner on the ground that the 2nd respondent herein informed the investigation agency that she is not interested in proceeding further with the matter; that the 1st respondent police also filed an affidavit before the concerned court stating that except the 2nd respondent herein no other witnesses supported the case; that the 1st respondent police have not taken any efforts of either to complete the investigation or to arrest the petitioner herein and hence he prays to allow the petition. On perusal of the entire material available on record, it is clear that there are some allegations as against the petitioner and this is a matter which has to be investigated by the police. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings in the said crime at this stage. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the concerned police are directed to complete the investigation of the case and file the final report either way without arresting the petitioner. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:28.11.2011. Gk.
