In any event, since the offence is arising out of matrimonial disputes and any arrest of the petitioners would cause prejudice to the future settlement between the parties, the respondent-Police are directed to complete the investigation and file final report either way without making arrest of the petitioners herein. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 30.03.2011 sur
