HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12732 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 3 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.207 of 2007 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B. Nagar, taken on file for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 494 and 109 IPC. Heard both sides. The entire reading of the charge sheet prima facie discloses that the marriage of the defacto complainant with the 1st petitioner took place on 13.05.1997 and thereafter the 1st petitioner started harassing the defacto complainant mentally and physically for additional dowry and without the knowledge of the defacto complainant and her parents, the 1st petitioner married another lady by name Anuradha @ Rani and staying with her separately. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the 1st petitioner. So far as petitioners 2 and 3 are concerned, the allegations made against them are very flimsy in nature and there are no specific allegations against them except some bald allegations that they also humiliated and harassed the defacto complainant. But, either in the complaint or in her statement nowhere it is stated that in what way petitioners 2 and 3 harassed and humiliated the defacto complainant. In the absence of any specific allegations, this Court is of the view that the proceedings against petitioners 2 and 3 can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed in part and the proceedings initiated against petitioners 2 and 3 herein in C.C.No.207 of 2007 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B. Nagar, are hereby quashed and the trial Court is hereby directed to proceed with trial as against the 1st petitioner. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 6th April, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12732 of 2010 (Allowed in part) 6th April, 2011 CBS
