BANKA. ----- OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 2. 26.4.2011 The petitioner has sought quashing of the First Information Report i.e. Belhar P.S. Case No. 43 of 2008 instituted under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections ¾ of Dowry Prohibition Act. It has been submitted that before filing of the present First Information Report, a Complaint has been instituted by the Informant which was dismissed after full consideration of the facts and Revision against the dismissal was not entertained. Since it is a statutory duty of the Police to investigate the case, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. However, the Investigating Officer through the Superintendent of Police will consider the aforesaid arguments and filed a closure report within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. With this observation, the application is disposed off. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
