HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4925 OF 2010 DATE:11.06.2010 Between: Mohd. Nadar and 3 others …….Petitioners And: Smt Syeda Amren and another ……Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4925 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 4/A-1 to A-4 are accused of offences punishable under Sections 420 and 406 IPC in Crime No.262 of 2010 of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad. Private complaint filed by the 1st respondent before the Magistrate was referred to the police for investigation and report under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. The 1st respondent is wife of A-1. A-2 and A-3 are parents of A-1. Even though A-4 is described as the daughter of A-2, the petitioners’ counsel says that A-4 is second wife of A-2. No doubt, previously the 1st respondent gave report in Women Police Station of Charminar South Zone alleging offences under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act against A-1 to A-4 and investigation of the said case is pending. After few days, the 1st respondent filed the private complaint in the lower court reiterating previous allegations and also alleging that A-1 to A-4 are using property of the complainant by keeping the property in their custody and enjoying the same for their personal benefit and that the 1st respondent is not able to maintain herself. The property consisted of 55 items of articles including valuable articles mentioned in the complaint. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that giving successive reports or complaints is with malafide intention and with a view to harass the petitioners/accused. At any rate, giving of report for offences under Section 498-A and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act is no bar for filing another complaint for offences under Sections 420 and 406 IPC. Allegations in the private complaint on their face value disclose offence punishable under Section 406 IPC. Truth or otherwise of the same cannot be decided in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C as it is a question of fact. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to quash FIR in this case. In the result, the petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU,J. Date:11.06.2010. GK.
