THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13619 of 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioners/accused Nos.2 to 7 under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, seeking to quash the First Information Report in Crime No.146 of 2010 of Police Station Ibrahimpatnam, Karimnagar District, for the offences punishable under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code and Sec.4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners contends that accused Nos.2 and 4 are ladies, accused No.5 is a girl and student and accused No.6 is a distant relative and they have absolutely no connection with the alleged offences. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can be decided only after completion of the investigation by the police. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, it is not a case for quashing of the First Information Report at this stage and investigation can be proceeded with. However, the arrest of the petitioners/accused Nos.2 to 7 is stayed till filing of the charge sheet, if any. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date:03-11-2011 INL
