THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12057 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.190 of 2011 on the file of P.S.Indrapalam, East Godavari District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 417, 420, 493, 292 read with 34 IPC and Section 3 (1) (x) of SCs & STs (POA) Act. Heard. The allegation against the 1st petitioner herein is that he promised to marry the de facto complainant and enjoyed her sexually and took her gold ornaments of about 10 tulas and an amount of Rs.6,00,000/- saying that he would purchase a house for her and subsequently cheated her by not purchasing a house for her. Further, it is alleged that the 1st petitioner along with his wife, the 2nd petitioner herein, abused the de facto complainant in the name of her caste and threatened her with dire consequences. The material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. In any event, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25.11.2011 v v
