THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5732 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (for short ‘Cr.P.C’), seeking to quash the F.I.R in Crime No.72 of 2010 on the file of Wanaparthi Town, Mahabubnagar District. 2. The petitioners herein are A-2 to A-5 in Crime No.72 of 2010. 2nd respondent herein who is the defacto complainant got registered the crime under Section 498-A I.P.C on 10.05.2010. The first petitioner is father- in-law, second petitioner is the mother-in-law, third petitioner is the sister-in- law, fourth petitioner is the husband of the third petitioner. 3. On perusal of the allegations made by the second respondent herein, it appears that her marriage was solemnized with her husband-A-1 on 16.08.2002 and at the time of marriage, her parents presented Rs.1,50,000/- under cash and 15 tulas of gold towards dowry. It is also represented that, her husband had looked after her well for one and half years and she was blessed with a male child. Her further allegation is that the petitioners herein instigated her husband to demand additional dowry of Rs.2,00,000/- and harassed her. Further, inspite of Panchayat held in 5 to 6 occasions between both wife and husband, there was no result. 4. Admittedly, the marriage was solemnized on 16.08.2002 and this complaint is lodged on 10.05.2010. Prima facie, it appears that, no ingredients of Section 498-A have been made out against any one of the accused. 5. I am of the opinion that, continuing such proceedings would result in harassment and injustice. Therefore, the proceedings are quashed as far as the petitioners/A-2 to A-5 are concerned. 6. In the result, the criminal petition is allowed. _________________________ B. CHANDRA KUMAR, J 03rd November, 2011 sp THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.
