CRIMINAL PETITION No.14733 of 2025
ORDER:
This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.1
seeking to quash the proceedings in CC No.1677 of 2025 on the file
of XII Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ranga Reddy District
registered for the offences under Sections 329(3), 324(4), 351(2),
352 read with 3(5) of BNS.
2. Heard Sri Mirza Azmath Ali Baig, learned counsel for the
petitioner and Sri E. Ganesh, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for
the respondent No.1-State.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the
dispute is of civil nature and thus, the allegation of trespass and
mischief against the petitioner are not maintainable as the complaint
itself is false. He further submitted that during the course of
investigation, the police have not collected any title documents from
the de facto complainant and that when he is not the owner, he
cannot allege trespass against the petitioner and that a civil suit on
the subject land is pending before the civil court. He, therefore,
prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner.
ETD,J
4. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor has submitted that
there are specific allegations against the petitioner-accused No.1 in
this case that he alleged to have trespassed into the land of the de
facto complainant and constructed a shed in the land, due to which
the de facto complainant has approached the court and filed a civil
suit vide O.S. No.738 of 2018 and that the de facto complainant got
the judgment in his favour. When the de facto complainant
approached the said plot, the petitioner has picked up a quarrel with
him and abused him in filthy language. Therefore, he prayed to
dismiss the petition.
5. Perused the record.
6. The contents of the charge sheet reveals the allegations of
trespass and criminal intimidation against the petitioner herein. The
charge sheet further discloses that LWs.2 and 3 are listed as eye
witnesses. The veracity of these witnesses and the truth in the
allegations need to be tested during the course of trial. Hence, it is
deemed appropriate to dispose of the petition by dispensing with the
attendance of the petitioner before the trial court.
7. Hence, the Criminal Petition is disposed of dispensing with
the attendance of the petitioner before the trial court, provided he is
ETD,J
represented by a counsel before the trial court on every date of
hearing and he shall be present before the trial court as and when
his presence is required during the course of trial.
Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
