THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2678 OF 2009 DATED:09-12-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. for quashing further proceedings in Cr.No.7 of 2009 of Chaderghat police station, Hyderabad. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner-A1. None appeared for the respondent. Perused the records. 3. Based on a complaint given by the 1st respondent police registered a case in Cr.No.7 of 2009 on 06-01-2009. Investigation is stated to be still pending. It is not disputed that previously 1st respondent gave a complaint against her husband and others and based on the said complaint, police registered a case in Cr.No.396 of 2007 and after investigation, filed charge sheet and the same was taken cognizance as C.C.No.69 of 2008. The present complaint is lodged by the 1st respondent alleging that the petitioners herein are threatening and criminally intimidating her to withdraw her complaint in C.C.No.69 of 2008. 1st petitioner-A1 is the husband of 2nd petitioner-A2 and the 2nd petitioner-A2 is the sister of the complainant’s husband. In the complaint it was alleged that petitioners have been making threatening telephonic calls to her and also sending e-mails mentally harassing her and also threatening that if she does not withdraw the complaint, the subject-matter of C.C.No.69 of 2008, her bedroom photographs, taken by the 1st petitioner, would be circulated to humiliate and insult her. The truth or otherwise of the said allegations will come out only after the investigation inasmuch as the 1st respondent alleges that the threats made by the petitioners are in the form of e-mails and telephonic calls. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the 1st respondent has been staying in U.S.A. and the police are not taking any steps in the matter of investigation of the complaint and the petitioners are being unnecessarily harassed for the past two years. 5. The counter-affidavit filed by the 1st respondent would disclose that the same was attested in U.S.A. which indicates that she is residing in U.S.A., though it is described in the first paragraph of the counter-affidavit that she is a resident of old Malakpet, Hyderabad. Be that as it may, as the complaint was registered nearly two years back, police need to be directed to expedite the investigation and file charge sheet or final report, as the case may be. In the circumstances, the concerned police of Chaderghat police station are directed to complete the investigation and file charge sheet/final report, as the case may be, within six months. 6. In the result, Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 09th December, 2010 Tsy
