THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7198 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in Crime No.61 of 2011 of Raikal Police Station, Karimnagar District, registered for the offence under Section 420 of IPC. Heard. The brief facts of the case is that the defacto-complainant/2nd respondent has fixed the marriage of his daughter with the 1st petitioner/A.1 and the marriage was fixed on 23.5.2011, at his house and he agreed to give Rs.5,00,000/-, towards dowry, motor cycle and etc. All of a sudden the petitioners 1 to 3 informed the defacto-complainant that the 1st petitioner/A.1 is not willing to marry the daughter of the defacto-complainant/2nd respondent. Hence, he lodged a complaint stating that he parted with an amount of Rs.1,90,000/- as dowry and other expenses. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the allegations are false in nature and further submitted that they have printed the wedding cards and distributed the same among their relatives, but suddenly the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant himself called the petitioners over phone and informed that his daughter is not willing to get married with the 1st petitioner/A.1 and hence, the marriage could not be performed. He further submitted that the 1st petitioner is willing to marry the daughter of the 2nd respondent and the allegations made in the complaint are false. Hence, this Court is of the view that there are disputed facts regarding the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent. The said facts cannot be appreciated by this Court by invoking provision under Section 482 Cr.P.C. But, at the same time, it is the bounden duty of the investigating officer to consider the submissions of the petitioner herein and also to investigate the fact whether the non performance of the marriage concerned is due to the action of the 2nd respondent or the first petitioner and the petitioners herein. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:18.08.2011. Gk.
