Tandur, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 506 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that petitioners 1 and 2 are residing 100 kms., away from the place of abode of the 2nd respondent/defacto-complainant, whereas petitioners 3 and 4 are residing 300 kms., away from the place of residence of the 2nd respondent, as such, the petitioners have nothing to do with the alleged offences and, hence, prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. Perusal of the complaint and other material placed on record reveals specific allegations against the petitioners.
