The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that after her marriage she was subjected to harassment by her husband and in-laws for additional dowry. In this connection, when she lodged a complaint before the local Police, they did not entertain her complaint therefore, she filed a private complaint and that was registered in Crime No.277 of 2008 under Sections 498-A, 506, 323, 324, 420, 468 read with 34 IPC. Though she lodged a complaint against the unofficial respondents herein also, their names were deleted from the charge sheet, without any reasons. Hence, the present writ petition. On behalf of the respondents, counter has been filed, inter alia¸ submitted that based on the complaint lodged by the petitioner a case in Crime No.277 of 2008 was registered and during the course of investigation, witnesses were examined. In the investigation, it is revealed that the 5th respondent herein is the sister of her husband and she is residing at Huston City, Texas, USA and as per the copy of her Passport, it is revealed that in view of the marriage of the petitioner she all alone came to India on 10.02.2008 and stayed up to 23.02.2008 and left for USA. Further, the 6th respondent herein is the brother-in-law of her husband and he is also residing at Huston City, Texas, USA and as per his Passport, he did not come to India since the date of the marriage of the petitioner. The 7th respondent is the mediator for the marriage of the petitioner. With the above, it is submitted that no prima facie case has been established against the respondents 5 to 7 herein and hence their names were deleted from the charge sheet in C.C. No.381 of 2009 after obtaining the necessary permission from the Deputy Commissioner of Police, CCS, DD on 31.03.2009 and filed charge sheet before the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader and perused the material on record. Prima facie, it is the case of the petitioner that she made specific allegations against the unofficial respondents herein and their names were deleted from the charge sheet, is the main allegation against the official respondents. From a perusal of the record, it is categorical submission on behalf of the official respondents that the Investigation Officer enquired into the matter and found that the allegations made against the unofficial respondents herein have not been proved. Therefore, their names were deleted from the charge sheet, C.C. No.381 of 2009, and after obtaining necessary permission from the competent authority, charge sheet has been filed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, I am of the considered opinion that during the course of investigation, charges leveled against the unofficial respondents have not been established. In view of the above, no case is made out by the petitioner and the petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH Date: 14-10-2009 LSK
