THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO CRL.P.NO.5402 OF 2011 AND CRL.P.M.P.NO.5442 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard the counsel for the petitioners. As can be seen from the allegations in the complaint, it is not a case where there are no prima facie allegations attracting the offence under Section 498-A I.P.C and Sections. 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act,1961. The learned counsel for the petitioners contends that there was no consummation of marriage at all and the crime is registered at the instance of the complainant, who is working as Excise Sub-Inspector. The material facts have to be ascertained only after investigation. Therefore, at this stage I do not find any material to quash the proceedings. However, the petitioners 2, 3 and 4 are ladies and other accused are youngsters. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the first accused is directed to surrender before the Junior Civil Judge, Vizianagaram and on such surrender he shall be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.5000/- with one(1) surety and he shall be available for investigation as and when called by the police. In case of arrest of the other accused Nos.2 to 7, they shall be released on bail on their executing personal bonds for an amount of Rs.5000/- each with one surety to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer. Accordingly the petitions are disposed of. _______________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO,J 07-07-2011 TSNR
