HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4086 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the Petitioner/Accused No.4 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings in Calender Case No.178 of 2009, pending on the file of the Court of II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Gurazala, Guntur District, registered for offence punishable under Section 498-A read with Section 109 I.P.C. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioner/A-4 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, appearing for the Respondents- State. 3. As seen from the allegations, the Petitioner is Accused No.4. The first Respondent herein is the de-facto complainant. A-1 is the husband of the de-facto complainant, A-2 is father-in-law and A-3 is mother-in-law of the de-facto complainant respectively. The Petitioner/A-4 is her sister-in-law. As seen from the allegations made by the de-facto complainant, her marriage with A-1 was solemnized about ten years back and at that time an amount of Rs.70,000/- was given towards dowry to her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law and that subsequently they were blessed with two children. It is also her allegation that her husband got addicted to vices and used to harass her demanding additional dowry. It is also her allegation that her father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law (Petitioner herein) instigated her husband to demand additional dowry, subsequently, there was settlement between the parties. Then again, they demanded additional dowry of Rs.50,000/- and necked out her from the house. 4. As seen from the above allegations, it is clear that no specific allegations have been made against the Petitioner/A-4, only omnibus allegations are made against her by the de-facto complainant. 5. The Petitioner’s case is that she has been staying with her husband in Rajasthan since 1994 and she had no contact or connection with her brother A-1 thereafter. 6. Having regard to the fact that only omnibus allegations have been made against the Petitioner/A-4, I am of the view that continuing Criminal proceedings against her will result in manifest injustice and harassment. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is allowed quashing the entire proceedings in Calender Case No.178 of 2009, pending on the file of the Court of II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Gurazala, Guntur District, in so far as the Petitioner/A-4 is concerned. _____________________ B.
