Heard. On a perusal of the records, it is seen that there are some allegations against the petitioners herein. But at the same time, since the petitioners being the ladies and the offences arose out of matrimonial disputes, if the petitioners are arrested, it may cause prejudice in case there is any proposal for settlement between the parties in future.

Further, the petitioners are 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. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 29th September, 2011 v v
