THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5133 of 2007 ORDER: This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C praying to quash the proceedings in S.C.No.377 of 2006 on the file of III Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Warangal. The brief facts of the case are as follows: The second respondent herein, namely, M.Shailaja filed a complaint before the IV Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Warangal alleging that A.1, who was working along with her for the past two years, represented that he was deeply in love with her and that she never agreed to such proposal, and therefore, the marriage proposal put forth by A.1 could not materialise. It is also alleged that A.2 is the mother, A.3 to A.5 are the brothers, A.6 to A.8 are sisters-in- law, and A.9 is the sister of A.1 respectively. A.10 is the Head Master of Upper Primary School at Shanigaram. All of them used to visit the office of the de facto complainant-Shailaja and try to persuade her to marry A.1. It is further alleged that A.1 started threatening her that he would commit suicide and that on 07.01.2005, A.3 to A.8 came to the place where the de facto complainant is working and had taken her to a temple by threatening her with dire consequences, and subsequently her marriage was performed with A.1 against her will and that due to fear she could not resist her marriage with A.1. It is also alleged that she was taken to the Office of the Registrar of Marriages, Warangal, where her marriage was registered, and due to fear she could not resist the same. It is further alleged that she was wrongfully confined for about three months under the same threats, and thereafter, she escaped from the clutches of the accused and reported the matter to the police. The police after completing the investigation laid charge sheet. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no proper investigation was done and no ingredients have been made out against the petitioners, and therefore, the criminal proceedings may be quashed as far as the petitioners are concerned and the petition may be allowed. He also submitted that the de facto complainant herself had addressed a letter dated 07.01.2005 to the Circle Inspector of Police, Mattawada Police Station, Warangal, which shows that she wilfully married A.1. He further submitted that the marriage of the de facto complainant and A.1 was registered in the Office of Registrar of Marriages, Warangal, which shows that the allegations made by the de facto complainant are false. Admittedly, no stay was granted and the police have completed the investigation and laid charge sheet. The truth or otherwise of the allegations made by the de facto complainant cannot be decided in this petition. Though it appears that the marriage was registered before the Registrar of Marriages, Warangal, it gives some scope to say that the allegations of the de facto complainant may not be correct, but final opinion cannot be expressed at this stage. Having regard to the allegations made against the petitioners and having regard to the fact that the case has been committed to the Sessions Court and made over to the III Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Warangal, I consider it just and reasonable to direct the III Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Warangal to conduct day to day trial and dispose of the matter as early as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________ B. CHANDRA KUMAR, J. Date: 20.04.2010 va
