THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31352 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to direct respondent Nos.1 to 3 to conduct a fresh investigation against the fourth respondent, and arrest him in Crime No.44 of 2010 of Garla Police Station, Khammam District. The petitioner’s grievance, in short, is that respondent No.4 (A4), brother-in-law of the petitioner, was interfering in their family matters, and was instrumental along with others in demanding dowry from her. It is her grievance that, while a case has been registered against the fourth respondent, no action was taken to have him arrested, or to investigate into the offence committed by him. The third respondent filed a counter affidavit wherein he stated that, based on the complaint of the petitioner, Crime No.44 of 2010, under Section 498-A I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, had been registered; witnesses were examined; the investigation revealed that it was only A1 to A3 who had harassed the complainant for additional dowry; A2 and A3 had obtained anticipatory bail in Crl.M.P.No.1257 of 2010 on 20.07.2010; a charge sheet in C.C.No.364 of 2010 was filed before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Yellandu; the case is now under trial; and since the investigation revealed that the fourth respondent did not commit any offence, the petitioner's complaint against the fourth respondent was devoid of merit. Since a charge sheet has already been filed, the remedy, if any, for the petitioner is to approach the Magistrate concerned, and to satisfy him that the material on record is sufficient to proceed even against the fourth respondent also, or to request him to direct a fresh investigation to be conducted in the matter. Since the petitioner has a remedy under the Cr.P.C., I see no reason to exercise discretion to interfere. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, closed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J December 20, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31352 OF 2011 December 20, 2011 MD
