THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9679 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.345 of 2011 of Shadnagar Police Station, Mahaboobnagar District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 354 and 448 IPC. Heard both sides. It is the case of the prosecution that on 09.07.2011 at about 2.30p.m. when the complainant is alone in the house, the petitioner herein, who is the elder brother of the de facto complainant’s husband, came to the house of the complainant and tried to outrage her modesty. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner and the de facto complainant are closely related to each other and the respondent – complainant is the petitioner’s own brother’s wife. Due to some misunderstandings, the present complaint is lodged. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that it is a matter to be investigated. But, at the same time taking into consideration the relationship between the parties, this Court is of the view that there is every possibility of compromise between the parties. Considering the same, the first respondent-police are hereby directed to conclude the investigation without making arrest of the petitioner. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 12th October 2011 Rns
