O R D E R:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner, who is accused, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the entire proceedings in C.C.No.280 of 2018 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Avanigadda, for the alleged offences under Sections 354, 324, 384, 506 and 290 of IPC.

Heard, Sri Vangara Kishore, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the 2nd respondent-

State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this case is counter-blast for an earlier case that was lodged in C.C.No.56 of 2017 and other case and he prays for quashing. In the alternative, he submits that the statement of LW.1 clearly shows that the offence under Section 354 of IPC is not made out, as there is no attempt to outrage the modesty of the woman. Learned counsel submits that Section 324 of IPC is not attracted since the injury is a simple injury. He points out that the accused is in fact the injured and that in his eyes the chilly powder was sprinkled. He also argues that except for a simple injury, no grievous injury has been reported. Therefore, even Section 324 of IPC according to him does not survive.
