COMMON ORDER:

Criminal Petition No.9789 of 2023 is filed by the petitioner/accused No.3 and Criminal Petition No.9790 of 2023 is filed by the petitioners/accused Nos.1, 2 and 4 seeking to quash the proceedings in F.I.R. No.101 of 2023 of Velair Police Station, Warangal District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 386, 420, 468, 471, 447, 427 and 506 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short, ‘the IPC’).

1.1. As both the criminal petitions arise out of F.I.R.No.101 of 2023 of Velair Police Station, Warangal District, both petitions are clubbed together and are being disposed of by way of a common order.

2. Brief facts of the case:

On 14.09.2023 about 10:15 hours, respondent No.2/de facto complainant lodged a complaint stating stated that he is the owner of agricultural land admeasuring Ac.13.22 guntas in Sy.No.315, situated at the outskirts of Errabelly Village, inherited from his father, late Madhusudhan Reddy. As he had been residing in Hyderabad for business purposes for the past few years, the land was not under cultivation, and villagers occasionally grazed cattle there with his permission.

Subsequently, one Kaleru Chinna Babu informed him that his land was mutated in the names of Accused Nos. 2 to 4, residents of Warangal. On enquiry with the MRO, Velair Mandal, he came to know that the said mutation was made based on a forged Sadabainama. Upon obtaining documents through an RTI application, he found that forged sale documents were created showing that his father had allegedly sold the land in 1954 to one Kistaiah, father of Denaboina Yadagiri, who later, in 2012, purportedly sold it to his wife and sons. In 2018, they fraudulently mutated the land in their names through Sadabainama. On learning this, the complainant approached the RDO, and subsequently, the Special Tribunal, Warangal (Urban), passed an order vide Case No. E3/Special Tribunal/628/2021 dated 08.07.2021, deleted the fraudulent entries and restored his name in the revenue records. The accused then filed O.S. No. 122/2022 before the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Hanumakonda, and temporary injunction application in I.A.No.505 of 2022 was dismissed on 27.10.2022. When the complainant visited his land on 10.11.2022 with copies of the court orders, Yadagiri and his family members allegedly confronted him, snatched and tore his documents, and threatened to kill him if he entered the land without paying them money equivalent to its value. Again, in July 2023, when the complainant went to plough his land along with witnesses, the accused restrained and threatened him. Due to his old age and ill-health, there was a delay in lodging the complaint. Based on his complaint, the police registered Crime No.101
