HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4597 OF 2007 DATE:03.06.2010 Between: B. Satyanarayanamma and another …….Petitioners And: The State of A.P., rep. By its Public Prosecutor and another. ……Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4597 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioners 1 and 2/A-2 and A-5 are mother and sister of A-1 and they are accused of offences punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The 2nd respondent/defacto- complainant is wife of A-1 who is not a party herein. It is alleged that after marriage A-1 and the 2nd respondent lived together at Bairavanagar, Anantapur and lead family life and that on 20.02.2006 A-1 beat the 2nd respondent demanding to get Rs.50,000/- from parents and left her in her parental house and that when A-1 sent divorce notice to the 2nd respondent, parents of the 2nd respondent offered Rs.50,000/- to A-1 and A-2 and that A-1 kept his family on 11.03.2006 in another house and sent intimation to the 2nd respondent saying that money given was not sufficient and demanded the 2nd respondent to execute a document in respect of her share in her parents properties in his favour. It is further alleged that when A-1 was staying in his parental house along with other accused, the 2nd respondent went there and that all the accused beat her indiscriminately and necked her from the house informing that they will not allow the 2nd respondent unless she gets a registered document for property in her name from her parents. It is contended that specific allegations were made only against A-1 and not against the other accused. The above narration of alleged incidents show that the petitioners also participated in the offence of harassment of the victim for the sake of dowry. Truth or otherwise of the said allegations is a matter of evidence in the lower court during trial. I do not find any valid or legal reasons to quash the proceedings in this case in so far as the petitioners are concerned. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU,J. Date:03.06.2010. Gk.
