THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11642 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Cr.No.15 of 2010 of Mahila Police Station, Kadapa, Kadapa District, whereby they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Petitioners are the parents-in-law and sister-in-law of the de facto complainant. Since the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the arrest of the petitioners would cause prejudice to the future settlement, if any, between the parties. Hence, the respondent- police are directed to complete the investigation and file final report either way without making arrest of the petitioners. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 3rd November 2011, Rns
