THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10347 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner/A-1 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.45 of 2011 on the file of Vinjamur Police Station, SPSR Nellore District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 147, 148, 324, 307 and 149 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for the same set of offence complained in the present complaint, A-2 in the case has lodged a complaint against the complainant herein and others on the same day of lodging the present complaint, and the same was registered as a case in Crime No.44 of 2011 on the file of Vinjamur Police Station, and as a counter blast to the said crime, the present complaint is lodged against the petitioner. The material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation of the case at this stage. In any event, considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the aspect of there being a possibility of settlement of the matter between the parties, the petitioner is advised to approach the concerned District & Sessions Judge seeking anticipatory bail, and if any such application is filed, the learned concerned Sessions Judge is directed to consider the same favourably. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition are closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 31.10.2011 v v
