On a complaint given by the second respondent, police registered a case in Cr.No.1242 of 2010 against A- 1, the husband, and A-2 and A-3, the parents of A-1, alleging offences under Section 498-A and 506 IPC. A perusal of the complaint would disclose that very serious allegations are made against the accused to the effect that A-1 has been harassing the complainant to develop sexual intimacy with others for money. It is further alleged that A-1 and A-3 are also insisting upon the complainant to have sexual relationship with A-2, the father-in-law. 4.

The truth or otherwise of the allegations contained in the complaint can come out only after necessary investigation is conducted, but not at this stage. 5. It is well established principle of law that the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C have to be exercised with due care, caution and circumspection and cannot be invoked to thwart further investigation into the complaint, especially when specific allegations have been made attracting the ingredients of the offences alleged against the petitioners/accused. 6. Having regard to the gravity of the nature of the offences alleged, prima facie attracting the ingredients of the offences alleged, it is considered not a fit case to quash further proceedings against the petitioners/A-2 and A - 3 i n Cr.No.1242 of 2010 of Sanjeevareddy Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad. 7. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 02nd December, 2010 Lrkm.
