HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P. No. 10463 of 2010 DATED: 28.12.2011 Between: Yasmeen Shaheen and three others .. Petitioners And The State of A.P. and another .. Respondents O R D E R:- 1. Heard Sri J. Narender, learned counsel representing Sri Jalli Kanakaiah, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners are shown as accused in F.I.R. No. 305 of 2010 of Nizamabad Rural Police Station which has been registered for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC on a complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein. 3. The 2nd petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant. Petitioner Nos.1 and 4 are stated to be the sisters of the 2nd petitioner while the 3rd petitioner is stated to be the aunt of petitioner Nos.1, 2 and 4. According to the F.I.R., the marriage of the de facto complainant with the 2nd petitioner took place on 17.05.2010 and within a period of four months thereafter, the de facto complainant gave the present report. Her grievance is that at the time of the marriage her father presented Rs.50,000/-, some gold ornaments and household articles and one month thereafter all the petitioners harassed her for additional dowry of Rs.2.00 lakhs and ultimately, the 2nd petitioner deserted the complainant. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners argued on merits of the matter to show that the complaint is false but all his contentions fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact. The allegations in F.I.R. do disclose the offence for which it is registered. The learned counsel also filed a copy of the newspaper where the 2nd petitioner is said to have divorced and got published the same in that newspaper. This is also a disputed question of fact so far as the validity of the divorce is concerned and it its effect on the allegations. As the matter involves disputed questions of fact, I am of the opinion that there is no ground for interference. 5. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed. So far as petitioner Nos.1, 3 and 4 (lady petitioners) are concerned the investigating officer shall strictly keep in view Section 41 Cr.P.C. while taking a decision about their arrest. __________________ N.
