SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11044 OF 2009 Between: Palavalasa Raja Sekhar @ Rajesh & 3 others ……Petitioners – Accused Nos.1 to 4 AND The State of A.P., through the Station House Officer, Balijipeta Police Station, Vizianagaram District, Rep. by the Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another .....Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11044 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners, accused Nos.1 to 4 respectively, seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.62 of 2009 of Balijipeta Police Station, Vizianagaram District, registered for the offences under Sections 307, 326, 324 & 342 read with 34 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under Sections 307, 326, 324 & 342 read with 34 IPC and the victim has lost an eye in the incident. 4. Though there is delay in giving complaint, the reason for the same appears to be that the victim was unconscious for 2 – 3 days after the incident. 5. In the circumstances, it is not a case, where it can be held that there is no prima facie case to quash the impugned proceedings. Hence, I see no grounds to entertain this petition. 6. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. The petitioners may approach the appropriate Court for bail. ____________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J December 31, 2009. PV
