The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the 1st petitioner’s wife Navaneetha is living with the first petitioner, where as the defacto complainant is the father in law of the first petitioner. He lodged a complaint saying that the petitioners harassed the said Navaneetha for additional dowry. The said Navaneetha also appeared before this Court and informed that they are not demanding for any dowry and also she is living happily with her husband. Considering the fact that when the wife of the first petitioner came and informed to this court that no such harassment meted out in the hands of the petitioners herein, the present complaint on the file of the Special Mobile Judicial First Class Magistrate at Sangareddy for an offence under section 498(A) IPC is liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the cognisance taken against the petitioners for an offence under section 498(A) IPC is quashed. In any event, considering the facts and the allegations made in the complaint, wherein it is stated that the petitioners assaulted the respondent and hence an offence under section 324 of IPC is registered. Hence the learned magistrate is directed to proceed with the trial against the petitioners for an offence under Section 324 r/w 34 IPC and further taking into consideration the petitioners and respondent-complainant are related, wherein the identity of the persons does not arise before the court, the presence of the petitioners before the trial court is also dispensed with. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dt: 01st February, 2011 Rns/ysk HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.No.898 OF 2011 DATED:01.02.2011 Rns/Ysk
