THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4340 of 2011 Date: 01.07.2011 Between: G. Upender Reddy and others. ………Petitioners. And The State of A.P., through the S.H.O., Ghatkesar P.S., rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another. ….Respondents. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4340 of 2011 ORDER: 1. Heard the petitioners’ counsel and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. It is seen that the 1st & 2nd petitioners are brother and sister of the 2nd respondent’s husband, who is the deceased in the case. The 3rd petitioner is stated to be an associate of petitioners 1 & 2. 3. Petitioners 1 & 2 with the help of 3rd petitioner are alleged to have killed the husband of the 2nd respondent (defacto-complainant) in connection with property disputes. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners invited my attention to an earlier inquest report which shows that the death of the deceased is a suspicious one and in that inquest report the 2nd respondent and her mother are said to have poisoned the deceased. It is also brought to my notice by the petitioner’s counsel that earlier the deceased himself gave a complaint against the 2nd respondent. However the charges now levelled against these petitioners are those punishable under Section 302 IPC and other connected offences. The investigation is still pending. In these circumstances, I regret that I am unable to agree with the petitioners’ counsel that the matter calls for interference under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioners says that the 2nd petitioner is suffering from some mental disorder. The concerned Police may take into account that plea provided somebody on behalf of the 2nd petitioner places the necessary material to that effect before the police and thereafter the police may decide about her arrest. __________________________ JUSTICE N.
