THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13555 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners/Accused Nos.2 to 5 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.140 of 2011 of Nampally Police Station, Nalgonda District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 403, 404, 506 read with 109 IPC and Section 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Admittedly, the investigation in the present crime is not yet completed. A perusal of the entire material placed on record prima facie discloses some allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation of the case. In any event, considering the fact that the present crime arose out of matrimonial disputes and that 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 arresting the petitioners. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated: 22-12-2011 v v
