THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.SURENDER
CRIMINAL PETITION No.6063 OF 2020
ORDER:
This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of
Cr.P.C., by the petitioner/accused No.3 to quash the FIR
against him in Crime No.132 of 2020 on the file of
Shankarampet Police Station, Medak District, for the
offences under Sections 147,148, 307, 323, 504, 506 (ii),
120(B) read with 149 IPC and Sections 3(1)(r)(s), and
Sections 3(2)(V), Section 3(2)(V)(a) of SCs/STs (PoA) Act,
2015.
2. This Court vide order dated 27.11.2020, had granted
relief of not to take coercive steps against the petitioner
herein. In all, the allegations were leveled against 10
persons. The police filed charge sheet against other 9
persons who are accused Nos.1 and 2 and 4 to 10. The
charge sheet was laid by the police on the basis of the
complaint filed by the 2nd respondent. According to the 2nd
respondent, this petitioner and all others have threatened
and abused him in the name of caste and also assaulted
him. On the basis of the said complaint, the police found
prima-facie case against the 9 persons including this
petitioner and filed charge sheet against them.
3. Insofar as other accused are concerned, learned
Sessions Judge vide judgment dated 11.11.2024 acquitted
all the accused mainly on the ground that the prosecution
failed to bring forth the allegations against the accused. The
learned Sessions Judge found that on account of the political
rivalry the accused were implicated in the case.
4. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, on instructions,
would submit that the crime is still pending against this
petitioner.
5. In view of full-fledged trial undertaken by the learned
Sessions Judge and finding that the complaint was false and
politically motivated, no useful purpose would served if the
investigation is permitted to go on insofar as this petitioner is
concerned.
6. For the said finding by the trial Court that the
complaint itself was politically motivated, the proceedings
against this petitioner in Crime No.132 of 2020 on the file of
Shankarampet Police Station, Medak District, are quashed.
Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed.
Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand
closed.
