Petitioners/A-4 to A-8 And The State of A.P., through W.P.S. Begumpet, Rep.by Public Prosecutor and another ..Respondents/Complainant and de facto complainant ORDER:- Heard the learned petitioners’ Counsel and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 498- A I.P.C. and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. The plea of the petitioners is that they have nothing to do with the offences or the de facto complainant and therefore, this petition should be quashed. 3. It is seen that the first petitioner is the brother and second and third petitioners are sisters of the husband of the de facto complainant and petitioners 4 and 5 are the husbands of petitioners 2 and 3 respectively. The investigation is still reported to be pending and there is no ground to quash it. 4. It is, however, seen that the dispute is essentially a family matter and in course of time, the de facto complainant and her husband also can come together. In these circumstances, the police may take a decision regarding the arrest of the petitioners after completion of the investigation. 5. With the above direction, this petition is dismissed. _____________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J 14th June, 2011 AMD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRL.P.No.4419 OF 2011 Date:14.06.2011 AMD
