Natesh Babu and others …Petitioners and Smt. K.N. Deepthi Matta and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 5216 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners herein are A-1 to A-5 in Cr.No.138 of 2011 of CCS (DD), Women Police Station, Hyderabad. They filed this petition to quash the said FIR. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 498-A IPC and Ss. 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners says that petitioners 2 and 3 are parents-in-law, 4th petitioner is the brother of the de facto complainant’s husband and 5th petitioner is the wife of the fourth petitioner. His further contention is that the whole case is a false one and they have been unnecessarily implicated. 3. The scope of this petition is limited and this court cannot decide whether the allegations are true or false, but the allegations do disclose the offences against all the petitioners. The matter is still at the investigation stage and the police may also delete some of the petitioners. In the circumstances, the relief for quashing the FIR is rejected. 4. In the circumstances of the case the police are directed to take a decision about arrest of Petitioner Nos. 2 to 5 after completion of the investigation, but this relief is refused to the first petitioner, who is stated to be the husband. It is also made clear that after completion of the investigation and filing of the charge sheet if any, the petitioners can pursue their remedies either before the trial court or before this Court. 5. With the above direction the petition is dismissed at the admission stage. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. June 30, 2011. *BVS Note: Furnish CC tomorrow. (BO) BVS.
