THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11994 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code by the Petitioner-A1 seeking to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.954 of 2011 of Kukatpally Police Station, Cyberabad, whereby he is arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. The case of the complainant is that her marriage with the petitioner herein took place in the month of April 2011 and thereafter they lived happily only for two months and since then the petitioner with the active support of other accused started harassing the complainant physically and mentally demanding additional dowry. Hence the complaint. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material on record. 4. On perusal of the record, as the offence arising out of matrimonial disputes, this Court is of the view that the arrest of the petitioner would cause prejudice to the future settlement, if any, between the parties. Hence, the respondent-police is directed to complete the investigation and file final report either way without making arrest of the petitioner. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25th November 2011 Rns
