HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2794 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.3 to 5, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.28 of 2011 of Tenali II Town P.S., Guntur District. Heard and perused the record. The offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Section 498-A read with Section 34 of IPC. Admittedly, the matter is still at the stage of investigation. Further, the complaint prima facie reveals specific allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners, at this stage. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that there is every possibility of settlement between the parties and if the petitioners are arrested at this stage that will cause prejudice to the future settlement between the parties. Having considered the submission of the learned counsel and in the facts and circumstances of the case, the police, Tenali II Town P.S., Guntur District, are hereby directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 21st October, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.2794 of 2011 (Disposed of) 21st October, 2011 cbs
