HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4896 of 2011 Dated 22.6.2011 Between: Md. Jaffar Shareef and others. …Petitioners. And: State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4896 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners are shown as accused in Crime No.119 of 2011 of Bapatla Town Police Station. They filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in the said case. 2. The offence alleged is under section 498 (A) I.P.C. The allegations, as such in the F.I.R., disclose the offence of Section 498 (A) I.P.C. and as investigation is still pending, it follows that it is not a fit case for quashing F.I.R. 3. It may however be noted that the petitioners 1 and 2 are aged people and the others are stated to be the employees. The offence under Section 498 (A) I.P.C. is a compoundable one and as it is a family dispute, the parties may come together in future by way of compromise. 4. In these circumstances, the police are directed to take a decision regarding the arrest of the petitioners after completion of investigation. 5. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 22.6.2011. Note: C.C. tomorrow.
