THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12450 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners – A3, A4 and A6 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in Crime No.133 of 2011 of Women Police Station, Begumpet, Hyderabad, whereby they are arrayed as accused for the oﬀence punishable under Sections 498-A and 406 of IPC and 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Admittedly, the matter is still at the stage of investigation. Oﬀence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Sections 498-A and 406 of IPC and 4 and 6 of the D.P.Act. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that there are some allegations, which are to be investigated into by the Police. As such, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners apprehend arrest in the hands of the 1st respondent-Police. In the present case, the question of identity and custodial interrogation is not necessary. Hence, the ﬁrst respondent-Police are directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, ﬁled along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 7th December 2011, Rns.
