THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13047 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.57 of 2011 on the file of Anantapur Mahila Police Station, Anantapur District, wherein he was arrayed as accused No.1 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 307 IPC. Heard. On a perusal of the records, it is seen that there are some allegations against the petitioner herein. But at the same time, since the offences arise out of matrimonial disputes, if the petitioner is arrested, it may cause prejudice in case there is any proposal for settlement between the parties in future. Hence, the investigating officer is directed to complete the investigation of the case without making arrest of the petitioner herein. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 14th December, 2011 v v
