HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2673 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 to 6, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.62 of 2011 of CCS (DD) Women P.S., Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 494 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. It is mainly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the defacto complainant never lived in Hyderabad and the petitioners are also not residents of Hyderabad and the 1st respondent-police have no jurisdiction to entertain the complaint filed by the defacto complainant. This Court is of the view that the disputed facts cannot be gone into at the time of investigation and it is for the Investigating Officer to decide the issue after due investigation. Hence, this Court is not inclined to pass any orders as prayed for by the petitioners herein. In any event, taking into consideration that the entire allegations are in connection with a matrimonial dispute, the 1st respondent-police are hereby directed to investigate the matter without making arrest of the petitioners and file a final report either way before the competent Court. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 25th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.2673 of 2011 (Disposed of) 25th March, 2011 CBS
