Dudala Rajesh (A-1), v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.5129 OF 2016 ORDER:

The petitioners-A1 to A4 preferred the present Criminal Petition by invoking the provision under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.61 of 2016 on the file of Women Police Station, Begumpet, Hyderabad City.

Heard and perused the material available on record. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A and 506 IPC and 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The truth or otherwise of the above said allegations can be ascertained during enquiry of the case.

At this stage, the learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that due to the pendency of the above crime, the petitioners apprehend arrest and harassment in the hands of the police. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief insofar as the 1st petitioner is concerned. Taking into consideration the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the police concerned are directed to complete the investigation and file final report, if any, without arresting the petitioners 2 to 4 only. In the event of necessity, the police concerned are directed to issue notice to the petitioners 2 to 4 for their appearance before the investigating agency for the purpose of investigation. On issuance of such notice, the petitioners 2 to 4 shall appear before the investigating agency and give an undertaking as to their future appearance as and when required by the investigating agency for the purpose of investigation.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, the Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _____________
