THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.NO.8049 OF 2011 ORDER The petitioners-accused 2 to 4 preferred this criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, seeking to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.183 of 2011 of the Station House Officer, Jagtial Rural, Karimnagar District, filed for the offences under Sections 498-A and 406 of the Indian Penal Code. The brief facts of the case are that the marriage of the de facto complainant was performed with accused No.1 was on 9-4-2010. Subsequently, the accused started harassing the de facto complainant for want of additional dowry and the de facto complainant brought the same from her parents. Being not satisfied with the same, they again started harassing the de facto complainant. Hence, the complaint. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that the accused, who are in-laws and brother- in-law of the de facto complainant, never harassed the de facto complainant at any point of time and they are not aware of the harassment made by her husband, who is accused No.1. This Court perused the records and heard the arguments. A perusal of the complaint goes to show that there are specific overt acts attributed against the accused. Hence, this Court is of the view that there is prima facie case against the petitioners herein. Hence, this Court is not inclined to stay the proceedings at this stage. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO,J rkk Dated: 7-9-2011
