THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO CRL.P.No.3020 OF 2010 ORDER The application is filed by Accused Nos.2 and 3 who are parents of Accused No.1 for quashing of the proceedings in C.C.No.150 of 2010 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally at Hyderabad. On a complaint given by the wife of A-1, who was married in 1990, for harassment of dowry said to have been made by all the accused, a case was registered and the police have filed the charge sheet. The complaint was given on 19-11-2007. The material allegations in the complaint only reflect with regard to demand for dowry and it is not a case of any physical assault or cruelty of the complainant by the accused persons. The first petitioner is aged about 72 years and second petitioner is aged about 67 years and they are said to be the residents of different places. The theory of harassment for dowry after a period of 15 years is highly improbable and unbelievable. It is totally an abuse of process of law to implicate the accused and in fact with regard to other accused, who are blood relatives of the A-1, the police have already deleted them as it is not proved to be correct. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioners/Accused Nos.2 and 3 in C.C.No.150 of 2010 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally at Hyderabad are quashed. _______________________ N.R.L.
