THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR Criminal Petition Nos. 4873 and 6248 of 2008 Common Order: These Criminal Petitions, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., are filed by the petitioners to quash the proceedings in M.P. No. 9 of 2007 on the file of the Mandal Executive Magistrate, Biccavolu, East Godavari District. Heard. Admittedly, a civil suit was pending on the date of passing of the impugned order and that injunction order was also subsisting in favour of the petitioners in Criminal Petition No.4873 of 2008 and respondents in Criminal Petition No.6248 of 2008. When once the matter has been ceased by the Civil Court, it appears that only in exceptional circumstances the proceedings under Section 145 Cr.P.C can be initiated. In view of the same, the Criminal Petitions are allowed and the impugned proceedings are quashed. ______________________ B. CHANDRA KUMAR, J. Date: 30.04.2010 Nsr
