Petitioners are shown as A-2 and A-3 in Crime No.50 of 2011 of Women Police Station, Begumpet, Hyderabad. The offences alleged are those punishable under Section 498-A and Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 3. It is seen that both these petitioners are parents-in-law of the de facto complainant. A perusal of the allegations made in the F.I.R. do disclose commission of offences by them. The above case is still at the stage of investigation. 4. The learned counsel for petitioners raised various contentions about the guilt or innocence of the petitioners, but they fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact and cannot be gone into in these proceedings. Hence, the relief for quashing the F.I.R. is rejected. 5. It is brought to my notice by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioner No.1 is aged 65 years and the petitioner No.2 who is a lady aged 60 years and they both are leading retired life. It should also be noted that the offences disclose a family dispute and in course of time, the husband and the wife may come together and live together. In these circumstances, the police shall take a decision regarding arrest of the petitioners after completion of the investigation. 6. With the above direction, this criminal petition is dismissed at the admission stage. _________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 27th April, 2011 Tjmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5073 of 2011 DATE: 27.06.2011
