Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent-State. Perused the record. 3. Based on the complaint given by the second respondent, the police registered a case against the husband of the complainant and his parents. The first petitioner is the sister of A-1, the husband. Second petitioner is the husband of first petitioner. Third petitioner is the junior maternal uncle of A-1. Fourth petitioner is the maternal uncle of A-1. Admittedly, the FIR is registered against A-1 and not against the parents. The question of quashing further investigation in Cr.No.708 of 2010 at the instance of the petitioners, who are not accused, does not arise. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that though the F.I.R is not registered against the petitioners, taking advantage of the reference to their names in the complaint, the police are harassing the petitioners in the name of investigation. 5. A perusal of the complaint would disclose that the thrust of the allegations is directed against the husband and his parents. What all is mentioned against the petitioners is that they abused the complainant several times over phone and continuously harassed her to get additional dowry. 6. Having regard to the fact that no specific allegation with reference to any date or event is made against the petitioners and that the F.I.R is also not registered against them, it is considered that the petitioners may not be arrested till the conclusion of the investigation and filing of the charge sheet, if any. The investigation shall, however, go on. 7. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed, with the above direction. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 16th December, 2010 Lrkm.
