THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4709 of 2011 ORDER:- Petitioner is the first accused in C.C.No.285 of 2010 on the file of the Court of the I Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Khammam. The charges are under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant. The allegations in the charge sheet do prima facie disclose offences against him and therefore there is no ground to quash the case. The learned counsel for the petitioner argued that the de facto complainant has already got a childhood friend and she wanted to marry him and as on today she is not willing to join the society of the petitioner and that there was never any harassment from his side. This defence of the petitioner may be correct or as contended by the prosecution it may not be correct but this question has to be decided on evidence and that exercise cannot be done in these proceedings. 3. Accordingly this criminal petition is dismissed at the admission stage. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 17th June, 2011 CVRK Note: Issue copy by 20.06.2011. B/o CVRK
