THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1940 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in Crime No.246 of 2010 of Women Police Station, Charminor(South Zone) Hyderabad, registered for the offence punishable under Section 406 read with 34 of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The main grievance of the petitioners herein is that the de facto complainant already lodged a complaint before the same police station and the same was registered as Crime No.311 of 2009 for an offence under Section 498(A) IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The present complaint subsequently filed by the same complainant under Section 406 read with 34 of IPC and the same was registered in the month of August 2010. Even though the provision of law in Cr.No.246 of 2010 is under Section 406 read with 34 IPC, but the same arises out of one and the same transaction as on earlier occasion in Crime No.311 of 2009. Petitioners were already arrested and released on bail and further the present complaint also under investigation by the same police. 4. Hence, this Court is of the view that the respondent-police can be directed to investigate the present crime 246 of 2010 without making any arrest and after completion of investigation, respondent- police are directed to file charge sheet clubbing Crime Nos.311 of 2009 and 246 of 2010, since the entire allegations arising out of the same transaction. 5. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 8th March 2011, Rns
