THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.258 OF 2008 BETWEEN: Toleti Haimavathi, W/o.Hariharanadhudu and another …Petitioners and State of A.P., rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.258 OF 2008 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioners/A-2 and A-3 seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.141 of 2006 on the file of the Additional First Class Magistrate, Rajole, East Godavari District. Heard. The material on record reveals that there is definitely prima facie case against the petitioners, who are the parents-in-law of the second respondent/daughter-in-law, the allegations against the petitioners are not of demanding dowry, accepting lesser dowry and then harassing the de facto complainant for several silly reasons. May be the allegations are not much serious, but it is not a case, where there are no allegations and there is no prima facie case to proceed against the petitioners. As such, I see no merits in this petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the trial of C.C.141 of 2006 pending on the file of the Additional First Class Magistrate, Rajole, shall be completed expeditiously, in any case, not later than six months from today, in view of the age of the petitioners/parents-in-law. ___________________ P.
