THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8288 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.68 of 2011 on the file of Peddakadabur Police Station of Kurnool District. Heard. Offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 355 and 506 read with Section 34 of IPC and Section 3 (1) (x) of SC/ST (POA) Act. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. In any event, taking into consideration of the fact that there is no provision for anticipatory bail for the offence under Section 3 (1) (x) of SC/ST (POA) Act alleged against the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the Investigating Officer can investigate the matter without making arrest of the petitioners and complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible. With the above observation, this criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 12.09.2011 v v
