When the matter is called, the learned counsel for the petitioners/A2 to A6 is absent, even though a specific mention is made in the cause list that no adjournments will be given. Heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the learned Asst. Public Prosecutor. He submits that he has no instructions. On perusal of the entire material available on record, it is clear that the petitioners/A2 to A6 along with A1 are alleged to have harassed the de facto complainant physically and mentally for additional dowry. The allegations in the F.I.R made out prima facie case against the petitioners/A2 to A6. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners/A2 to A6 in the above referred crime, by invoking the inherent powers under Sec.482 of Cr.P.C The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ B.N.RAO NALLA,J Dated: 20.10.2011 Dsr
