At this stage, it is difficult to decide the involvement of the petitioners in the alleged harassment. In case, there are no allegations against the present petitioners in above said letter, they can use the same for confronting to the defacto complainant during her cross-examination before the trial Court and as of now it cannot be said that there is no prima facie case against the present petitioners. 5) Therefore, the criminal petition is dismissed. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 17th November, 2009 SUR
