THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.9939 of 2009 & 5165 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: 1 These two petitions have been filed to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.240 of 2009 registered by the Station House Officer, III Town Police Station, Nizamabad for the offences punishable under sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of IPC and under sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The husband and father in law of the complainant i.e. who are arrayed as accused Nos. 1 and 2 approached this court and filed Crl.P.No.5165 of 2010 and mother in law of the complainant who is arrayed as accused No.3 filed Crl.P.No.9939 of 2009. Hence these two petitions are being disposed of by this common order. For the sake of convenience, I refer to the parties as accused and complainant. 2 Brief facts that led to filing of these petitions are that the marriage between the complainant and the first accused took place on 06.05.2007 and at the time of marriage, the parents of the complainant gave the demanded dowry to the accused. After the marriage, all the accused harassed the complainant physically and mentally for additional dowry of Rs.7,00,000/- for purchase of a flat at Miyapur, Hyderabad. Later the complainant gave birth to a male child at Nizamabad on 11.10.2009. Then the accused visited the hospital but they did not speak to the complainant and her parents. On 07.11.2009 the accused went to the house of the parents of the complainant and there they abused, beat with hands and threatened the father of the complainant with dire consequences by stating that if he does not heed to their demand, the first accused would marry another girl. Thereafter the complainant, not able to bear with the said harassment meted out by the accused, filed the present complaint. 3 The learned counsel for the petitioners in both the petitions Mr. C.B. Rammohan Reddy stated that the complainant is willing to withdraw the said complaint that has been given by her. 4 In the light of the said submission, this court directed the parties to be present before the court and accordingly all the parties are present before this court today. When questioned, the complainant Smt. K. Sri Vidya stated that she joined the company of the accused and is living happily with them and that all the accused are looking after her well. 5 In view of the said submissions made by the complainant and as she herself came forward stating that she is no more interested in getting the said case prosecuted further, this court is of the view that ends of justice would be met if the said proceedings are quashed. 6 Accordingly, these two petitions are allowed, and the proceedings in Cr.No.240 of 2009 on the file of the Station House Officer, III Town Police Station, Nizamabad registered for the offences punishable under sections 498- A, 323 and 506 of IPC and under sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act are hereby quashed. --------------- 21.06.2010 Kvsn
