THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.7123 OF 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code to quash proceedings in F.I.R.No.620 of 2008 on the file of Kushaiguda police station, Cyberabad against the petitioners-A2 and A3 ( for short, A2 and A3) registered for offences punishable under Sections 403, 406, 420 and 506 r/w 34 IPC. 2. This Court on 07.11.2008 granted interim stay of the proceedings and the same is being continued. There is a lengthy complaint. In a nutshell, the prosecution version is as follows: The marriage of the complainant with A1 in the case took place on 31.10.2003 and at the time of the marriage, her parents gave 50 tulas of gold, 3 Kgs of Silver and Rs.25,00,000/- cash apart from observing other formalities under ‘pasupu kumkuma’ and ‘sthridhana’. Subsequent to their marriage, they went to London and stayed there for two years. A1 is indebted to many people. Therefore, the complainant along with her parents and others questioned the acts of A1. From then onwards, A1 and her parents i.e. A2 and A3 started harassing her. Further, they kept all the gold articles of the complainant with them and even though she demanded to return them back they failed to do so and on the other hand they subjected her to cruelty. Hence, a case in Cr.No.132 of 2008 was registered against A1 to A3 for the offences punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 4 & 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act on the file of Kushaiguda police station. 3. Heard both sides. 4. Now, the point for consideration is whether there are sufficient grounds to quash the proceedings or not. 5. It is contended by the learned counsel for the accused that the main allegations are against A1 and there are no specific allegations against A2 and A3 and they were already granted anticipatory bail by the learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Rangareddy District. 6. There are specific allegations supported by record to prosecute A2 and A3 with reference to the alleged offences. Their relationships and their stay are also important. Hence, necessary trial has to be conducted to establish the charges. However, taking into consideration the circumstances of the case and the age of the accused 2 and 3, who are aged 55 and 50 years respectively, their presence before the trial Court is dispensed with till the commencement of the trial of the case. 7. In the result, the Criminal Petition is disposed of accordingly. _______________________________ G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY,J 28th September, 2011. Tsy
