The petitioners herein are the accused Nos. 2 and 3 and the respondents are the complainants in the case. For convenience sake, I refer the parties as they are arrayed before the lower Court. The allegations levelled against the accused are as follows: The deceased got married in the month of May, 1995 to the accused No.1 and at the time of marriage, as demanded by the accused, Acs. 3.00 cents of land, Rs.80,000/- net cash, 40 tola gold and furniture were given to them. From the date of marriage, till one year back, the deceased and accused No.1 led their married life happily. The deceased and accused No.1 were residing in their own flat bearing No.103, Shabari Nilayam, Vivekananda Nagar Colony, Kukatpally. The deceased and the accused No.1 were blessed with one son and one daughter. The accused No.1 used to harass the deceased mentally and physically by demanding additional land of 2.5 acres for 7 years prior to the filing of the case. In the year 2005, the deceased was beaten by the accused No.1 in that context, due to which, she sustained eye swelling. After that, the deceased was sent to her parents’ house. The deceased stayed for nearly about 4 to 5 months at her parents’ house, but, the accused No.1 managed to bring her back to his residence at Kukatpally. In the month of July 2006, the deceased complained to her brother Duggirala Murali Mohan about the harassment both physical and mental met by her in the hands of the accused No.1, thereby she was taken to her parents’ house. Further, unable to bear the harassment the deceased decided not to lead married life with the accused No.1 anymore. Further, the accused No.1 came to her parents house and had taken the children without informing anyone and left his children in the custody of the accused Nos. 2 and 3. Further, through a mediator namely Duggirala Ramanaiah Rs.1,10,000/- was paid to the accused No.1 and the deceased was dropped at the house of the accused No.1 but the accused No. 1 did not stop the harassment. Further the accused Nos.2 and 3 also used to visit accused No.1 residence and harass the deceased for want of additional dowry. Further on 22-01-2007, at about 12.30 hours, the brother of the deceased went to the house of the deceased and observed that the doors were locked from inside and he further observed that the deceased committed suicide by hanging herself using rope due to the harassment by the accused No.1. No specific instances of the accused Nos.2 and 3 harassing the deceased for want of additional dowry are there. The allegations levelled against the accused Nos. 2 and 3 are bald allegations and, it is not advisable to allow the proceedings to continue against them as it is nothing but abusing the process of law. In the result, the petition is allowed. G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY,J Dt. 07.04.2011 lvl THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5608 of 2008 Dt. 07.04.2011
