HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.739 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 7, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash Crime No.579 of 2010 of W.P.S. C.C.S.P.S., Hyderabad. Heard both sides and perused the record. The record discloses that petitioners 1 to 4 herein were acquitted of the offences under Sections 498-A, 506, 323 r/w 34 IPC and Section 4 of the D.P. Act, vide judgment dated 20.10.2010, rendered in C.C.No.451 of 2009 by the XIII Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (Mahila Court) at Hyderabad, as the 2nd respondent herein deposed that the matter between her and her husband 1st petitioner herein has been settled and so she does not want to prosecute the petitioners. Further, O.P.No.919 of 2009 on the file of the Family Judge, Hyderabad, filed by the 1st petitioner against the 2nd respondent, seeking direction to the 2nd respondent to join his conjugal society, was closed on 07.11.2009 as both the parties after counseling agreed to live together unconditionally and they promised the Court that they will not divide in future and they will live cordially. Admittedly, the matter is at the stage of investigation. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A, 329, 406, 420, 511 r/w 34 IPC and Section 4 of the D.P. Act. So, the question of identity of the petitioners in the matter does not arise. In the light of the above, this Court is of the view that it is the prerogative of the Investigating Officer to find out the genuineness of the complaint concerned. In any event, taking into consideration the latest amendments made to Section 41 Cr.P.C., the Investigating Officer is hereby directed to strictly follow the latest amendments made to Section 41 Cr.P.C. during investigation. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 28th January, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.739 of 2011 (Disposed of) 28th January, 2011 CBS
