HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6761 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-Accused Nos. 2 to 7 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C. No. 276 of 2010 on the file of VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, at Hayathnagar, Ranga Reddy District registered for the offence under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Perused the record. As can be seen from the material available before this Court, there is no evidence against the accused herein to go into the in-depth of the case. A mere reading of the charge sheet filed by the respondent No.2-police, clearly indicates that no allegations are leveled against the petitioners herein to attract section 498-A except factual allegations. That the contention of the police that the petitioners have also instigated the Accused No.1 to harass the de facto complainant cannot be a ground to proceed with against the petitioners herein. Hence, the C.C. No. 276 of 2010 on the file of VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, at Hayathnagar, Ranga Reddy District against the petitioners-accused Nos. 2 to 7 is hereby quashed. The Criminal Petition is allowed accordingly. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 2.12.2011 CHV
