HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.161 of 2006 DT.09.07.2010 P.Tata Rao …Petitioner V. Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam District and others … Respondents The Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.161 of 2006 ORDER:- The Petitioner, who is arrayed as accused in crime No.450 of 2005 on the file of III Town Police Station, Visakhapatnam District registered for the offences punishable under Sections 495, 417, 420, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings initiated against him. The allegations in the complaint, prima facie, disclose a cognizable offence, which the police are bound to investigate and file necessary report. The present case does not fall under any of the categories enumerated by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (1992 Supp. (1) SCC 335) to scuttle the investigation at the initial stage. Further this Court has not granted any stay of the proceedings. In such a view of the matter, this Court is of the view that as of now the investigation might have been completed and the police might have filed the charge sheet. In view of the same, no ground is made out to quash the proceedings. The Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J 9th July 2010 lmv
