SRI.P.K.RAMKUMAR FOR R2 PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.PUZHAKKARA MUHAMMED THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 15/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: A.K.BASHEER, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Crl.M.C.No.904 OF 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 15th day of December 2009 ORDER The prayer in this petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is to quash Annexure B, First Information Report registered by Feroke Police against the petitioner and two others for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 324, 403, 406, 498(A) read with Section 34IPC. 2. Petitioner has been arraigned as accused No.3 in the said crime. The allegation against the petitioner and the co-accused appears to be that they had mentally and physically tortured the defacto complainant demanding for more money. The further allegation appears to be that they had misappropriated a sum of Rs.10,43,000/- belonging to the defacto complainant after the marriage. 3. I have carefully perused the averments in the petition, Annexure A complaint and annexure B First Information Report. This petition has been pending before this court since 2006. Though this court had initially granted stay of further investigation, the interim order of stay was not extended after June 2006. Learned counsel for respondent No.2, defacto Crl.M.C.No.904 OF 2006 :: 2 :: complainant, submits that the police had completed investigation and laid charge sheet before the competent jurisdictional Magistrate long time back. 4. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to keep this petition pending on the file of this court any further. Criminal M.C. is therefore closed. 5. It is made clear that I have not considered the merit of any of the contentions raised by the petitioner. It will be open to her to raise all her contentions before the court below. Criminal M.C. is closed. (A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE) jes
