HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5621 of 2011 Dated 13.7.2011 Between: P.Bala Subrahmanyam. …Petitioners. And: The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5621 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the petitioners’ counsel and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The F.I.R. in question is registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 307 I.P.C. and also Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. It is stated that subsequently, the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Atmakur having jurisdiction over the matter passed the order dated 9.11.2010 deleting the offence under Section 307 I.P.C. from the case. 4. Both the petitioners are parents-in-law of the defacto complainant. The F.I.R. shows that there are allegations against them which disclose the offences under Sections 498-A I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Hence, this petition cannot be entertained and relief for quashing the F.I.R. is, therefore, rejected. 5. It is, however, brought to my notice that the defacto complainant and her husband are now living together at Bangalore. If this is so, the concerned police may look into the matter and take a decision regarding the arrest of the petitioners if that is necessary after completion of investigation. 6. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. _________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 13.7.2011. Note: Issue CC by tomorrow.
