IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Friday, July 22, 2011. Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 4189 of 2011 Between: Md. Abdul Waheed Siddique and others …Petitioners and The State of AP and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 4189 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the second respondent and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. This petition is filed to quash the FIR in Cr.No. 63 of 2011 of Narayanapet Police Station, Mahabubnagar District. The crime has been registered for the offences punishable under section 498-A and 506 IPC on the report of the second respondent herein. 3. A perusal of the allegations in the report dated:17.4.2011 given by the second respondent to the police would show that allegations of dowry harassment have been made against the petitioners. Petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 are stated to be the parents; petitioner Nos. 3 and 4 are stated to be the brothers and petitioner Nos. 5 to 7 are stated to be the sisters of the husband of the de facto complainant. The learned counsel for the petitioners pointed out that all the allegations in the report are vague, the petitioners have no interest to interfere in the family affairs of the de facto complainant and it is also stated that her husband is also in Kuwait since ten years. It may however be noted that the allegations in the report would show that the second respondent also for temporary period stayed with her husband in Kuwait, but this harassment started when she came to India. Thus having regard to the allegations made in the FIR it cannot be said that there is no case against these petitioners and the matter needs further investigation and the police may ultimately decide about the complicity of the petitioners in the first instance. Accordingly the relief for quashing the FIR is rejected. 4. As it is seen that the husband of the second respondent is staying in Kuwait and she also went and stayed with him for some time and the present petitioners though are close relatives, are staying at Hyderabad and having regard to the fact that this is a family dispute and the parties may come together in future, the police are directed to take a decision about the arrest of the petitioners after completion of the investigation. 5. This petition is accordingly disposed of. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. July 22, 2011. *BVS
