IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4187 of 2009 DATE: 01.10.2010 Between: Ch.Krishna Murthi and others …… Petitioner And: The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by Public Prosecutor and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4187 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 4/A-1 to A-4 who are Principal, Secretary, Correspondent and Office Superintendent of Sri Varalakshmi Polytechnic, Chilakalapudi, Machilipatnam are accused of offences punishable under Sections 3(1)(x), 3(1)(ix) and 3(1)(xi) of the S.Cs and the S.Ts (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,1989 (in short, the Act) in Crime No.119 of 2009 of Chilakalapudi Police Station. The 2nd respondent/defacto- complainant is mother of a student in that polytechnic. It is stated that previously the 2nd respondent and her son approached this Court by way of writ petition and also approached Human Rights Commission for reliefs and having failed to obtain any relief in those proceedings, the 2nd respondent gave a false report alleging offence under the Act to the Superintendent of Police, Machilipatnam, Krishna District and it was sent to the Station House Officer, on the basis of which this crime was registered. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that the report is lacking details of date and time of the alleged incidents and that it is bald. Truth or falsity of the report given by the 2nd respondent to the police cannot be gone into and decided in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. It is a matter which has to be decided by the investigating officer after gathering evidence and also the back ground of disputes between the parties. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to quash F.I.R in this case. 2) Previously this Court granted stay of arrest of the petitioners pending investigation. I propose to extend the same till completion of the investigation. 3) In the result, the petition is dismissed. The investigating officer is directed not to arrest the petitioners 1 to 4/A-1 to A-4 till completion of investigation and filing of charge sheet/final report. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J October 01, 2010 KSH
