THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.828 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners – accused Nos.1 to 4 seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.244 of 2009 of Peddapuram Police Station, East Godavari District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 417 and 420 IPC read with 34 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. There are serious allegations against the petitioners saying that the first petitioner-accused claiming that he fell in love with the de facto complainant roamed with her for two years and developed physical contact also promising to marry her and finally refused. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that there are disputes between both the groups and earlier complaints were given by the first petitioner and another complaint by his parents against relatives of the first respondent. As such, a false complaint is given and that the alleged incident has taken place long back and the present complaint is given long after the alleged affair. 4. The case of the complainant is that the first petitioner all through was promising to marry her, as such, the complaint might be given recently when finally the first petitioner refused to marry her. It is difficult to believe that on account of some disputes, a complaint of this nature would be given by the complainant putting her honor to stake. 5. Considering these circumstances, it is directed that the investigation and consequential steps on the basis of result of investigation shall go on. But only petitioners 2 to 4 shall not be arrested till filing of charge sheet, if any. 6. The Criminal Petition is disposed of with the above direction. ___________________ P.
