THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARA CRIMINAL PETITION No.9844 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 7/A2 to A8 are accused of offences punishable under Section 498-A I.P.C. and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, along with A1. A1 is not a petitioner before this Court. A1 is husband of the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant. A2 and A3 are parents. A4 is sister. A5, A6, A8 are brothers and A7 is paternal grandfather of A1. Undoubtedly, the allegations in report given by the 2nd respondent to the Police disclose the above offences against A1. But, allegations in First Information Report do not disclose any of the above offences against A2 to A8 who are the petitioners herein. It is alleged that A2 to A8 were responsible for secreting A1 from coming to the 2nd respondent. Except the said allegation, there are no allegations of any type of harassment on the part of A2 to A8 towards the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant. Therefore, registration of this case against A2 to A8 for the above said offences is wholly unwarranted. 2. In the result, the Criminal Petition is allowed quashing FIR in Crime No.17 of 2009 of Neredcherla Police Station of Nalgonda District, insofar as the petitioners 1 to 7/A2 to A8 are concerned. The Police are at liberty to proceed with the case against A1. ______________________________ JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU Dt:02.11.2011 ysk THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.9844 of 2009 Dt:02.11.2011 ysk
