THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9701 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against her in Crime No. 103 of 2011 on the file of the Station House Officer, Mahaboobabad Police Station, Warangal District, wherein the petitioner was arrayed as Accused No.3 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 504, 506 and 494 of I.P.C. and 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Admittedly, the petitioner is not related to the husband of the defacto complainant. Hence, the offence under Section 498-A of I.P.C. is not attracted. But at the same time, the ingredients of the offences under Section 506 and 494 of I.P.C. are made out. However, taking into consideration the fact that the offences arise out of matrimonial disputes and the petitioner being a lady, the investigating officer is directed to conclude the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioner herein. Further, the petitioner is also directed to cooperate with the investigating officer in completion of the case. She is also directed to appear before the investigating officer, as and when required by him. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated :12th October, 2011 pnb
