THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13304 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.114 of 2011 on the file of the Station House Officer, Makthal police station, wherein the petitioners were arrayed as accused Nos.2 to 4 for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Heard. Perused the record. 3. A perusal of the record reveals that there are certain allegations against the petitioners herein. But at the same time, since the offences arise out of matrimonial disputes, there is every possibility of settlement between the parties in future. 4. Hence, the investigating officer is directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioners herein and file final report either way. Further, the petitioners are also directed to cooperate with the investigating officer in completion of the case. They are also directed to appear before the investigating officer, as and when required by him. 5. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J 20th December, 2011. Tsy
