HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13062 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.68 of 2011 of Tallapudi P.S., West Godavari District. Heard both sides and perused the record. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 324, 354, 307, 379, 143, 146, 149 of IPC. Admittedly, the matter is at the stage of investigation. Further, the complaint reveals some allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. However, if the petitioners apprehend arrest in the hands of police, they are at liberty to move an application before the Sessions Judge concerned seeking anticipatory bail and, on filing of such application, the learned Sessions Judge is directed to consider the application favourably on the ground that some of the petitioners are aged more than 55 years and earlier no criminal cases are filed against the petitioners and prior to the present crime, on the basis of the complaint given by the petitioners herein, a case is registered against the de facto complainant, 2nd respondent herein. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 15th December, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13062 of 2011 (Disposed of) 15th December, 2011 cbs
