THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4736 OF 2011 Dated:20.06.2011 Between: Smt. C.Shobha Rani and others .. Petitioners And The State of Andhra Pradesh through Station House Officer, Uppal, P.S., Represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4736 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners are stated to be accused Nos.2 to 5 in Crime No.279 of 2011 of Uppal Police Station, Cyberabad. The offences alleged are those punishable under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The first petitioner is stated to be the mother, the second petitioner is brother and the third petitioner is the sister of the de facto complainant’s husband. The fourth petitioner is stated to be the maternal uncle of the first accused. The grievance of the petitioners is that the first accused i.e., the husband of the de facto complainant and the other party entered into a compromise on 14.02.2011 and some amounts have been paid as per the said compromise and despite the same, on false allegations, the de facto complainant has again filed this complaint. It is also represented that there is going to be a settlement between the parties. Whether the parties earlier reached a settlement and are likely to reach a settlement are again to be looked into by collecting information and this can be better done by an investigating agency. In view of this, there are no grounds to entertain this criminal petition. Regarding arrest of the petitioners, it may be noted that the dispute is a family matter and there is every chance of the de facto complainant and her husband coming together. In the circumstances, the police shall take a decision regarding arrest of the petitioners after completing the investigation. With the above direction, the criminal petition is disposed of. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 20.06.2011 KH
