HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.393 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners-A1 to A6 seek to quash the proceedings in Crime No.99 of 2008 on the file of Town Police Station, Tuni, East Godavari District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 417, 420 and 498-A I.P.C. read with Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The 2nd respondent-complainant filed a complaint against the petitioners-A1 to A6 for the offences under Sections 417, 420 and 498-A of I.P.C. read with Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act before the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tuni, who referred the same to the police, Tuni Town Police Station, under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. for investigation and report. The police registered the same as a case in Crime No.99 of 2008 under the aforesaid Sections of law. This petition was listed for the first time on 28.01.2009 and on that day this Court, while issuing notice to the 2nd respondent, posted the matter after four weeks from that day and thereafter on 30.04.2009 at the request of the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the matte was directed to be listed after Summer Vacation, 2009. There was no order of interim stay of the proceedings in Crime No.99 of 2008. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioner has not evinced any interest in the matter. Since the crime was registered as early as in the year 2008 and there was no stay of the proceedings in the crime, in my considered view, the police must have completed the entire investigation and submitted a final report. I find no merit in this petition. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 28.04.2010 Gsn.
