THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11440 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner – Accused No.3 approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against her in Crime No.510 of 2011 of IV Town Police Station, Visakhapatnam, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that some allegations are there against the petitioner, which requires investigation by the Investigating Officer. Since the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes any arrest of the petitioner would cause prejudice to the future settlement between the parties. Hence, the Investigating Officer is hereby directed to complete the investigation and file final report either way without making arrest of the petitioner - accused. 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 16th November 2011 Rns
