THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 1204 OF 2010 Order: The petitioners preferred this petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in First Information Report No. 51 of 2010 on the file of Station House Officer, Central Crime Station, Hyderabad, registered for offences punishable under Sections 498-A of IPC and 4 & 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The 1st respondent, who is the father-in-law of Accused No.1 lodged a complaint against the petitioners and A1. On 27.7.2011, this Court directed the 2nd respondent to file an affidavit of his daughter, who is the wife of A1 in order to know whether his daughter supports the case of the complainant. Accordingly, an affidavit is filed by the daughter of the 1st respondent wherein she has reiterated the contents in the complaint. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that divorce was obtained by A1 and his wife in U.S.A., wherein she has not levelled any allegations against her husband. Learned counsel for the 1st respondent fairly submitted that this is a matter to be investigated into and the 1st respondent did not lodge the present complaint with an intention to arrest the petitioners herein. Considering the same, the respondent-police are directed to complete the investigation expeditiously without arresting the petitioners herein. With the above directions, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 12.09.2011 pnb
