HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6566 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 6, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.59 of 2011 of Pamidimukkala P.S., Vijayawada City, Krishna District. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that according to the complaint, the defacto complainant left the company of her husband 1st petitioner on 13.11.2010, whereas she lodged the complaint on 11.7.2011 i.e., after lapse of eight months. He further submitted that she has not specifically stated anything in the complaint. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. This Court is of the view that since the complainant has lodged the complaint, all the specific allegations would come to light at the time of investigation by the police. Hence, I am not inclined to quash the crime. However, if the petitioners apprehend arrest in the hands of police, they are at liberty to file an application before the Sessions Judge concerned seeking anticipatory bail and, on filing of such application, the learned Sessions Judge is directed to consider the same favourably, as the offences arose out of matrimonial disputes. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of and the Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 3rd August, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.6566 of 2011 (Disposed of) 3rd August, 2011 cbs
