IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Friday, July 29, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 6962 of 2008 Between N. James ..Petitioner and The State of A.P. and another …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 6962 of 2008 O r d e r: Heard Smt, Udaya Sree, learned counsel for the petitioner; Sri M.R.K.Chowdary, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the for the second respondent and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. The petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant/second respondent. The allegations in the charge sheet do disclose the offences punishable under section 498-A IPC and Ss. 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. It is seen from the charge sheet allegations that this petitioner has subjected the second respondent to both mental and physical cruelty for additional dowry and also for other reasons. Thus it cannot be said that this is a case where even if the allegations are believed to be true, they do not disclose any offence. The various pleas raised by the petitioner’s counsel fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact which cannot be gone into in this petition. 3. Accordingly this petition is dismissed. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. July 29, 2011 *BVS
