HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P.NO.3847 OF 2009 DATE: 20.01.2011 BETWEEN: Shaik Mahaboob and others .. Petitioners And The State of Andhra Pradsh and another ` .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P.NO.3847 OF 2009 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners 2 to 8 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. There is no representation on behalf of the second respondent. Petition is dismissed as against the first petitioner as per order dated 03.09.2007. This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the entire proceedings in C.C.No.368 2009 on the file of the III Metropolitan Magistrate, L.B.Nagar, Cyberabad. The second respondent is the wife of the first accused. She lodged a complaint alleging commission of offences under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC against the accused, who are her husband and his close relatives. The complaint was forwarded by the learned Magistrate to the Station House Officer, Nacharam Police Station under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C for investigation. The police after registering case in Crime No.263 of 2007 under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC, conducted investigation and filed charge sheet against A1 to A8. Subsequent to the filing of the criminal petition, the petition had been withdrawn against A1, who is the husband of the second respondent. I have perused the contents of the charge sheet which are nothing but the allegations mentioned in the complaint petition against the accused. In so far as petitioners 2 to 8 are concerned, no specific allegation involving them in the offence punishable under Section 498- A and 406 IPC has been made, and only some sweeping and general allegations have been made against the said accused. The allegations mentioned in the charge sheet reveal that some differences arose between the second respondent and first accused, and that the second respondent also filed maintenance case i.e. M.C.No.389 of 2008 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar. The allegations mentioned in the complaint petition may attract the offences punishable under Section 498-A and 406 IPC against A1, but against the remaining accused (A2 to A8), who are the petitioners 2 to 8 they ex facie appear to be false and it seems that they have been implicated due to the relationship with the first accused. Considering in all the aspects of the matter, I am of the view that if the proceedings are allowed to be continued against the petitioners 2 to 8, it is nothing but abuse of process of law and it will result in much hardship and lot of inconvenience to the petitioners/A2 to A8. Therefore, the entire proceedings in C.C.No.368 2009 on the file of the III Metropolitan Magistrate, L.B.Nagar, Cyberabad are hereby quashed in so far as the petitioners 2 to 8 are concerned and the criminal petition is allowed. _______________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 20.01.2011 Kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL.
