THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.7140 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to stay all further proceedings in S.C.No.23 of 2010 on the file of the Special Judge for Trial of Cases under SCs & Sts (POA) Act, East Godavari at Rajahmundry. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in S.C.No.23 of 2010, the petitioners are accused whereas in a complaint lodged by the petitioners herein before the same police, which was registered as crime No.25 of 2008 of I. Polavaram P.S., the respondent-Police failed to file charge sheet even though the complaint is lodged in the year 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioners confined his arguments only in connection with the non-filing of the final report in crime No.25 of 2008. This Court is of the view that when a case and a counter-case are preferred before the same police, it is the duty of the officer, who is investigating the counter-cases, to file final reports in both the cases. Hence, the respondents-police are directed to complete the investigation and file final report before the Court concerned in crime No.25 of 2008 on or before 31.08.2011. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________ (RAJA ELANGO, J) 17th August 2011 RRB
