THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11862 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners filed the present Criminal Petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.314 of 2010 on the file of the Station House Officer, Ibrahimpatnam Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 498-A of I.P.C. The 2nd respondent-complainant lodged a complaint against her husband and some other persons stating that they entered into a compromise on the basis of an earlier complaint and at that time, her husband promised her to pay a sum of Rs. 10.00 lakhs and also gave a cheque. But the said cheque was not honoured, for which, a complaint was lodged, basing on which, the respondent-police erroneously registered a case against the petitioners herein for the alleged offences. On a perusal of the entire complaint, it is seen that specific allegations are levelled against the husband of the 2nd respondent and no accusations are made against the petitioners herein except the fact that they also approached the 2nd respondent and compromised the matter. Hence, this Court is of the view that the proceedings initiated against the petitioners are liable to be quashed. The Criminal Petition is accordingly allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners in Crime No. 314 of 2010 on the file of the Station House Officer, Ibrahimpatnam Police Station are hereby quashed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J.
