THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11480 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 7 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.227 of 2011 on the file of Korutla Police Station, Karimnagar District. Heard. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. A perusal of the record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. In any event, considering the fact that the present crime arose out of matrimonial disputes and if the petitioners are arrested, it may cause prejudice in case there is any proposal for settlement between the parties in future, the investigating officer is directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioners. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 17.11.2011 v v
