THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1931 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.52 of 2010 of Ramachandrapuram Police Station, Medak District, whereby they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. It is the case of the prosecution that on 01.05.2008 the marriage of the complainant was took place with the first petitioner and after the marriage, they lived together happily for some time and later, A1 at the instigation of his parents, who are the petitioners herein, started harassing the complainant physically and mentally. Unable to bear the said harassment, complainant lodged the present complaint. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are no way concerned with the alleged offence and they are living separately from the first accused and the complainant. The petitioners are not having any nexus with the marital life of A1 and the 2nd respondent-complainant. In view of the nature of allegations and the relationship between the parties and also in view of the fact that the arrest of the petitioners would cause prejudice to the future settlement if any between the parties and as the learned counsel for the respondent-complainant is also not expressed any objection, the first respondent-police are hereby directed to conclude the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 12th October 2011 Rns
