On a report given by the second respondent, the police registered case in Cr.No.23 of 2010 for offences punishable under section 498-A IPC and section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act in Keshavapatnam police station of Karimnagar district. 2. Though allegations were made by the second respondent-defacto complainant about dowry harassment against husband, parents-in-law, sisters-in- law and brother-in-law, the police after investigation found that there was no dowry harassment by sisters-in- law and brother-in-law of the second respondent, who are A-4 to A10. The police arrested A-1 and sent him to the Magistrate for remand along with remand case diary. 3. It is contended by the petitioners counsel that marriage of the second respondent with A-1 took place 18 years ago and that there is no possibility of harassing the victim after 18 years by parents-in-law, who are aged persons and that father-in-law of the second respondent who is the second petitioner is bed ridden with paralysis and spinal problem. Perhaps for that reason, the police did not arrest him. 4. On consideration of entire material placed before this Court, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case for quashing F.I.R. in so far as the petitioners are concerned and to stop investigation of the case at its threshold. 5. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ Justice Samudrala Govindarajulu.. 02-06-2010.
