THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.960 OF 2011 and 1082 OF 2010 DATED 8th FEBRURAY, 2011. BETWEEN : A.Poshetti & others .. Petitioners-A.1 to A.4 and The State of A.P. & another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.960 OF 2011 and 1082 OF 2010 COMMON ORDER: Since the prayer sought for in both these criminal petitions is one and same, both the petitions are disposed of by this common order. Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.39 of 2008 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Metpally. Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners informed that the father and brother of the deceased do not want to proceed further in this matter and an affidavit is also filed narrating the compromise. But, since the offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Section 304B of Indian Penal Code, this Court is of the view that the compromise entered into between the parties cannot be a ground to quash the proceedings against the accused. Hence, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted his arguments on merits. On perusal of the entire record and also after hearing the arguments, it is evident from the charge sheet that within a period of two months after the marriage, A.1 and A.2 went to Dubai and the deceased lived with the husband only for a short period. It is also stated in the charge sheet that the deceased committed suicide due to depression since she could not able to live with her husband as he left Dubai. Further, there is nothing on record to show any harassment or ill-treatment by the petitioners herein during the stay of the deceased at her matrimonial house. It is also revealed in the charge sheet that the deceased lived happily during her stay at matrimonial home for two months. Considering the above said facts and also there is no proximity seen in the death of the deceased and the vague allegations mentioned in the charge sheet, this Court is of the view that the present complaint can be quashed. Accordingly, both the Criminal Petitions are allowed and the further proceedings against the petitioners in P.R.C.No.39 of 2008 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Metpally, are hereby quashed. In any event, the affidavit filed by the petitioners and second respondent be made as part and parcel of the present record. Miscellaneous petitions filed in these Criminal Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 08.02.2011 sur
