THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.5887 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No. 177 of 2009 on the file of the Station House Officer, Women Police Station, Begumpet, Hyderabad, wherein the petitioners were arrayed as Accused Nos.1 to 4 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A of I.P.C. and 4 & 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, none appeared for the petitioners nor any representation was made on their behalf. Counsel for Respondent No.2 is present. It is seen from the record that on an earlier occasion, this court adjourned the matter on the ground that there is a possibility of settlement between the parties. In the absence of the petitioners’ counsel, this Court is not inclined to pass any orders in this Criminal Petition. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated :20th October, 2011 pnb
