THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY Crl.P.No.6269 OF 2008 ORDER This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash proceedings in CC.No.392 of 2007 on the file of I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Proddatur, Kadapa District. The petitioners herein are the accused 2 and 3 in the calender case. The accused 1, 4 and 5 in the calender case are the son and daughters of the accused 2 and 3. The allegations levelled against the accused are as follows: The first accused married the de facto complainant Yerri Sideswaramma on 13-5-2004 and at that time, dowry and other articles were given to the accused. Later, the accused 1 to 6 started harassing the de facto complainant for want of additional dowry. So, she went to her parents house and informed about it. But, her parents could not arrange the amount. Later also all the accused harassed her for additional dowry. On 26-09-2007 at about 9-20 P.M, the first accused beat the de facto complainant with hands and kicked her and caused injuries to her. Thereafter, she went to concerned Police Station and gave report, on the basis of which, the case was registered by the police for the offences punishable under Sections 323 and 498-A read 34 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is the contention of the petitioners that there are no specific allegations against the petitioners to try them for the alleged offences and it is a fit case to quash the proceedings against them. Now the point consideration is whether there are sufficient grounds in order to quash the proceedings. I have gone through the record. There are specific allegations against the accused to the effect that subsequent to the marriage, all of them harassed the de facto complainant for want of additional dowry. Therefore, it is necessary to see that they are to be tried in order to ascertain the truth. There are no grounds to allow the criminal petition. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY,J rkk Dated: 31-3-2011
