HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4689 of 2011 Dated 07.07.2011 Between: Vemulapalli Sridhar. …Petitioner. And: The State of Andhra Pradesh through the Station House Officer, P.S. Kothapet, Kothapet, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4689 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri Prakash Chakravarthi, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. Petitioners herein are A.1 and A.2 in Cr.No.75 of 2011 of Kothapet Police Station, East Godavari District. The case is registered on a complaint of the 2nd respondent herein. The offences alleged are those offences punishable under Sections 324, 506 and 498-A read with 34 I.P.C. and Sections 3(1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. 3. The main plea of the petitioners is that the 1st petitioner married the defacto complainant’s sister without knowing that she was already married to another person and also had a son through him. Petitioners say that the 1st marriage of the defacto complainant’s sister was suppressed and she committed cheating also. Basing upon this plea, the learned counsel for the petitioners says that F.I.R. should be quashed. 4. It may be noted that the allegations in the F.I.R. do disclose the offences of causing simple hurt and criminal intimidation and also Section 498 A I.P.C. This apart, the defacto complainant and her sister are said to have been abused in the name of their caste also. Various pleas raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners would fall within the purview of the disputed questions of fact which have to be decided on evidence. 5. In the above circumstances, I am unable to agree with the contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 07.07.2011.
