The second respondent filed a counter affidavit stating that the wife of the sixth petitioner, Smt.Zulekha Begum, lodged a compliant with the second respondent on 15.07.2002 against her husband and other family members. The same was registered in Crime No.187 of 2002 under Sections 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. Investigation into the crime was taken out. The sixth petitioner herein, who is accused No.1 in the said crime, was arrested and produced before the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Peddpalli. He was remanded to judicial custody and the other accused are absconding till today. The allegation that the second respondent took the petitioners to the Police Station and obtained Rs.50/- bond paper is denied. It is also alleged that so as to escape arrest in connection with Crime No.187 of 2002, the petitioners approached this Court without disclosing the correct facts. Though counter affidavit is filed on 29.10.2002, the petitioners have not chosen to file reply affidavit denying the allegations made in the counter affidavit. In view of the unrebutted counter averments, it becomes clear that the petitioners approached this Court by making imaginary allegations without regard to the truth. Therefore, they are not entitled to any relief. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.06.2005 vs To 1 The Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar Dist. 2 The Station House Officer I Town Police Station, Godavarikhani.
