THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2940 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking quashing of further proceedings in Cr.No.189 of 2009 of Mirchowk police station, Hyderabad registered for the offences under Sections 506 and 504 IPC. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the 1st respondent- State. None appears for the 2nd respondent-complainant. Perused the record. 3. On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent, the police, after receiving permission from the Court of the learned VIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, registered First Information Report No.189 of 2009 against the petitioner for the offences under Sections 506 and 504 IPC. The complainant and the accused are closely related. It is stated that the complainant’s sister-in-law filed O.P.No.6584 of 2008 for divorce against her husband- petitioner herein alleging mental and physical harassment. It is alleged that the petitioner has been abusing the complainant in filthy language and also threatening him with dire consequences, if he does not ensure withdrawal of the above case by his sister-in- law. It is further alleged that on 12.08.2010, at about 11.05 p.m., petitioner came to the shop of the complainant and warned him that he should tell his sister-in-law to withdraw the case or otherwise he would kill him. It is further alleged that on 13.08.2010 at about 11.00 a.m. when the complainant was waiting in his car in the parking area of the Family Court premises, petitioner and the gundas threatened to kill him. The truth or otherwise of the said allegations has to be gone into only during the course of investigation. Having regard to the fact that the allegations contained in the complaint do attract prima facie ingredients of the alleged offences and also the fact that the alleged act of criminal intimidation having taken place in the Court premises itself, it is considered not a fit case to thwart the investigation by invoking the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. There are absolutely no valid or sufficient grounds to quash the further proceedings in F.I.R.No.189 of 2009 of Mirchowk police station, Hyderabad. 4. In the result, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 17th November, 2011. Tsy
