THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.12101 OF 2010 DATED:06-12-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. for quashing of further investigation in Cr.No.47 of 2010 of Dahagaon police station, Adilabad District. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the records. 3. Based on a complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein, police registered a case in Cr.No.47 of 2010 against the petitioners-A1 to A9 for the offences under Sections 147, 447, 427, 351 r/w 149 and Sections 3 (1) (x) (iv) of the Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Investigation is pending. 4. According to the complainant, the disputed land is a patta land and that on 21-06-2010 petitioners and others forcibly tried to evict the complainant from the land and removed the fencing around the land and trespassed into the same. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the disputed land is a government land as per the revenue records and the Mandal Revenue Officer also issued a notice to the 2nd respondent warning him against encroaching upon the government land. 6. As seen from the said notice issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer, the disputed land of 30 guntas in Sy.No.177 is a government land and being used for weekly shandy since twenty years and the complainant is attempting to encroach upon the same. The question as to whether or not the disputed land is a private patta land of the complainant or a government land and whether or not the complainant himself encroached upon the said land and raised fencing illegally and whether or not petitioners-A1 to A9 removed the said fencing forcibly and abused the complainant in the name of his caste are all matters to be considered during the course of investigation. Having regard to the nature of the offences alleged and the specific allegations made in the complaint, it is considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and quash further proceedings in Cr.No.47 of 2010 of Duhagaon police station, Adilabad District. On the other hand, the matter requires due investigation. However, it is considered that the petitioners-A1 to A9 may not be arrested till conclusion of the investigation and filing of charge sheet/final report, as the case may be. 7. Criminal Petition is dismissed with the above direction. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 06th December, 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. o the order within three days. B/o Tsy
