THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.7326 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner preferred this Criminal Petition seeking quashing of the First Information Report in crime No.71 of 2011 of Palacole Town Police Station wherein he was arrayed as accused No.1 for the offences under Sections 498-A and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and under Section 156 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The petitioner is the husband of the second respondent. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the allegations are only against accused No.4, the father-in-law of the second respondent. No specific allegations are raised against the petitioner herein and hence, no offence is made out. Further, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there is apprehension of arrest in the hands of the respondent-police. Perused the complaint and heard the arguments. In the complaint filed before the police in para-5, specific allegations are stated against the petitioner-accused No.1, wherein it is stated that the petitioner demanded a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- to get registration of the house situated at Housing Board and the petitioner also harassed the second respondent in several ways. She spent sleepless nights for months together and hence, there are prima facie allegations to investigate. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. The Criminal Petition is dismissed and the petitioner is at liberty to file a petition for anticipatory bail before the Court concerned. On filing of such application, the learned Judge is directed to grant bail favourably since the dispute arises out of matrimonial matter. _______________ (RAJA ELANGO, J) 23rd August 2011 RRB
