HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2500 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.249 of 2009 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hayatnagar, Cyberabad City, taken on file for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. The main allegations, even as per the complaint lodged by the defacto complainant, are that the husband of the defacto complainant came from Kuwait to her parents house in the year 2009 and while he was beating her, her mother intervened and tried to pacify him and then her husband warned her mother with dire consequences and demanded a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- to start a new business at his residence and also threatened to eliminate her and the children if she does not comply with his demand. It is also alleged that the defacto complainant is living with her parents eight years prior to the date of occurrence. There are no allegations against the petitioners herein who are parents-in-law of the defacto complainant except the allegation that at the instigation of the petitioners, her husband used to quarrel with her. Further, the Investigating Agency, without examining the witnesses properly and also recording any statements to attract the offence against the petitioners, filed the charge sheet against them. Taking into consideration the entire complaint and the material on record, this Court is of the view that nothing is there against the petitioners to proceed further, more particularly for the offences referred to above and this is a fit case to quash the proceedings against them. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.249 of 2009 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hayatnagar, Cyberabad City, in so far as the petitioners herein are concerned, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2500 of 2011 (Allowed) 23rd March, 2011 CBS
