C-482 No. 181 of 2010 With Stay App. No. 149 / 10 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Hem Chandra Joshi, Advocate present for the petitioners. Mr. B.S. Parihar, Brief Holder present for respondent No. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Brief Holder for respondent No. 1. By means of this petition, moved under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioners have sought quashing of the criminal case No. 390 of 2009; (arisen out of crime No. 14 of 2009), State Vs. Basant Ballabh Joshi and another, relating to offences punishable under Section 498-A, 504, 506 of I.P.C., and one punishable under Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, police station Kotwali Almora, District Almora, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Almora. It has been pleaded by the petitioners that there was no demand of dowry on their part. Even the factum of marriage has been denied. Such factual disputes can be examined only by the trial court after recording evidence. It is not desirable on the part of this Court to make any opinion on the basis of half baked evidence before it. For the reasons as discussed above, this petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is dismissed summarily with the observation that if the petitioners surrender before the court concerned, and move application for bail, their bail application shall be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay. (Stay Application No. 149 of 2010 also stands dismissed). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) 12.03.2010 HN
