THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2241 of 2008 July 08, 2010 Between: V.Veena, D/o.Chalapathy … Petitioner/accused No.2 AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad And another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2241 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner is accused No.2 in Crime No.626 of 2007 of P.S. Kushaiguda under Sections 498-A, 494 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. Petitioner is elder sister of accused No.1, K.Venkat Chakravarthy. Second respondent lodged a complaint on the file of the Court of X Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Malkajgiri. The same was endorsed to P.S. Kushaiguda for investigation under Section 156(3) of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. At that stage, present criminal petition is filed for quashing the crime. Second respondent alleged in her complaint that at the time of her marriage on 04.3.1995 with accused No.1, dowry was given and, that after the marriage there was demand for more dowry, that after the birth of a son on 30.6.1997, accused No.1 harassed her threatening to marry an Indonesian woman, that he prepared divorce papers and sent to her mother, that in January 2006 petitioner herein came to India and forced the complainant to sign divorce papers and when she refused, petitioner abetted the offence under Section 494 of IPC. She also alleged that her husband married Rakimin of Indonesia and petitioner abetted the offence. The complaint by the second respondent is about two offences, one under Section 498-A of IPC and another under Section 494 of IPC. In commission of both these offences, there are allegations against the petitioner. Therefore, it is not a case where the petitioner has been implicated without any reason. Whether the allegations made in the complaint are true and whether the petitioner is guilty of culpable conduct attracting the offences under Sections 498-A and 494 of IPC are the matters, which have to be gone into at the time of trial. At this stage, truth or otherwise of the complaint cannot be gone into. The complaint certainly discloses commission of offence as alleged and, therefore, this is a matter of investigation and trial. The criminal petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) July 08, 2010 YS
