THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.6855 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners – accused 2 to 5 seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.271 of 2009 on the file of the III Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District, arising out of Crime No.201 of 2009 of III Town Law and Order Police Station, Rajahmundry, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 323, 506(2) IPC read with 34 of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The offence alleged is under Section 498-A IPC. The detailed complaint given by the complainant – second respondent reveals that there are several allegations against all the petitioners. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that in fact, the second respondent herself harassed the husband and in-laws and the husband gave a complaint to the police earlier and that was not registered and subsequently, the complainant gave a false complaint. At this stage, no opinion can be expressed on the above aspects, but the complaint reveals definitely prima facie case against the petitioners. 4. Considering these circumstances, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the presence of petitioners 1 to 4 shall be dispensed with during trial on appropriate petition being filed and properly represented. But they shall appear before the Court at the time of framing of charges, examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and pronouncement of judgment. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J.
