THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 8241 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners/Accused Nos. 2 to 5 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No. 196 of 2011 on the file of I Town Police Station, Vizianagaram. The 2nd respondent, who is the father of the deceased, gave a complaint against the petitioners and one T. Srinu, Accused No.1 alleging that they used the caste name and Accused No.1 cheated the deceased in the name of marriage and hence, she committed suicide. Based thereon, the above crime has been registered for the oﬀences punishable under Sections 306, 420, 417 read with 34 I.P.C. and Section 3(i)(x) of SCs & STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. A perusal of the complaint and the other material available on record, shows that there was a love aﬀair between the deceased and Accused No.1. The grievance of the petitioners is that in view of that aﬀair, this case was foisted against them. Considering the circumstances, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation without arresting the petitioners and ﬁle a ﬁnal report either way. With this direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 2nd December 2011 ksld
