And: The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.3785 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.314 of 2010 on the file of the II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District. 2. A perusal of the averments made in the Charge Sheet in C.C.No.314 of 2010 on the file of the II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Rajahmundry would show that it cannot be said to be a case where the said allegations even if believed do not disclose any case. 3. The offences alleged are punishable under Section 498 (A) and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The 1st petitioner is said to be the husband of the de facto complainant and the 2nd petitioner her father-in-law. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners extensively argued about the merits of the matter and truthfulness of the case. But all his contentions fall within the disputed questions of fact. It may also be noted that originally in the complaint, two others i.e., mother-in-law and brother-in-law were added as accused and the police have deleted them after completion of their investigation. 5. In the circumstances, there is no reason to interfere with the proceedings pending against the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed. 7. The 2nd petitioner is said to be an aged and sickly person. Hence, having regard to his plea, the presence of the 2nd petitioner for every date of hearing in this case is directed to be dispensed with by the trial Court but the 2nd petitioner shall attend the Court on any dates specified by it. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 30.4.2011.
