THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12455 of 2011
ORDER:
Petitioner – A2 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.433 of 2011 of Mancherial Police Station, Adilabad District, whereby he is arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Section 25(1)(a) of the Indian Arms Act 1959.
Heard.
Admittedly, the matter is still at the stage of investigation. Offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under the Indian Arms Act. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that there are some allegations against the petitioner also, which are to be investigated into by the Police. As such, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage.
Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed.
The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed.
