HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4408 of 2011 Dated 27.6.2011 Between: D.Ravi Kumar and others. …Petitioners. And: State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4408 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the petitioners’ counsel and the Public Prosecutor. 2. Petitioners are seeking to quash the F.I.R. in crime No.373 of 2011 of Vanasthalipuram Police Station. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 498-A, 420, 506 I.P.C., and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegations in the complaint/F.I.R. would definitely show the offences which are mentioned above against all these petitioners. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners invited my attention to various averments in the complaint and pointed out that they do not disclose any offences against these petitioners. It is true that in one para of the complaint, defacto complainant says that she became pregnant through the 1st petitioner but in next para, she says that he is impotent. These allegations are of course inconsistent but allegations read as a whole disclose offences. Investigation is pending. 4. In the circumstances, there is no ground to entertain this petition and the relief for quashing therefore cannot be granted. 5. It is brought to my notice that petitioners 2 and 3 are aged people and are leading a retired life. Hence, the police while going ahead with investigation are directed to take a decision about the arrest of the petitioners 2 and 3 only after completion of investigation. So far as 1st petitioner is concerned, this relief for him is rejected. 6. With the above direction, this petition is dismissed at the admission stage. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 27.6.2011.
