THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6526 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/A-3 to A-7 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in FIR.No.154 of 2011 of P.S.Gajwel, Medak District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 420, 494, 498-A and 504 IPC. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the complaint in this case is lodged after 13 years of the marriage of the petitioner with Accused No.1, and the petitioners are in no way concerned with the present crime. He further submitted that in the complaint, except vague allegations, no contents about the involvement of the petitioners are found. He also submitted that the petitioners apprehend arrest in the hands of police. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the learned counsel, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation, but at the same time directs the Investigating Officer to consider the contentions raised by the learned counsel and to verify whether the petitioners are residing along with the complainant and A-1 and whether there are any allegations against the petitioners, during the course of investigation. Further, if the petitioners apprehend arrest in the hands of police, they are at liberty to file appropriate application before the concerned District & Sessions Court and on filing such application, the concerned District & Sessions Judge is directed to consider the same favourably since the present crime arose out of matrimonial disputes. With the above observation, this criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 03.08.2011 v v
