THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 10640 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner/Accused No.1 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No. 627 of 2011 on the file of Rajender Nagar Police Station, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498-A of IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Admittedly, the matter is at the stage of investigation. On a perusal of the records, it is seen that there are some allegations against the petitioner herein. As such, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. But at the same time, since the alleged offences arose out of matrimonial disputes, if the petitioner is arrested, it may cause prejudice in case there is any proposal for settlement between the parties in future. Hence, the Investigating Officer is directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioner herein. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 3rd October 2011 ksld
