THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1204 OF 2008 DATED 17th MARCH, 2011. BETWEEN : Smt.P.Sitha Mahalakshmi .. Petitioner-A.3 and The State of A.P. & another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1204 OF 2008 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.3 of 2008 on the file of the V Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, for the offence punishable under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code. Heard both sides, perused the entire record and also the statements of witnesses. Petitioner is the sister-in-law of the deceased. Petitioner is charged for the said offence along with 3 other accused. It is the admitted case of the prosecution that the petitioner herein is married in the year 1999 and she is living separately in Chennai along with her husband. On perusal of the records, it is evident that the petitioner’s involvement in the alleged crime is nowhere informed by any one of the witnesses concerned, more particularly, in connection with the inducement to commit suicide. Even the suicide note of the deceased does not disclose anything against the petitioner. The deceased has not even whispered about the involvement of the petitioner herein. In the absence of any material to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime, this Court is of the view that the present complaint against the petitioner is liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioner-A.3 in P.R.C.No.3 of 2008 on the file of the V Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 17.03.2011 sur
