HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE U.DURGA PRASAD RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 788 OF 2015 ORDER:

The petitioner/A2 seeks quashment of proceedings in S.C.No. 172 of 2013 on the file of Assistant Sessions Judge, Chodavaram, Visakhapatnam District.

The Police of Cheedikaka Police Station, Visakhapatnam District laid charge sheet against petitioners/A1 and A2 for the offences under Sections 306 and 506 read with Section 34 IPC. A1 is the son of petitioner/A2. The allegations in the charge sheet are that during January, 2013 A1 and A2 went to the house of LW1 and requested him to give his daughter Shravani in marriage to A1 and LW-1 refused and later A1 brought the deceased intentionally from her school to Visakhapatnam on 13.2.2013 and kept her for two days and latter her parents brought her to the house. Later LWs 11 and 12 held panchayat at Bailapudi and at request of LW-1, A1 allegedly agreed that he would not interfere with the girl and panhayatdars warned A1 and A2 not to indulge with the girl Shravani.

Thereafter, the girl was shifted to the house of LW-1's brother-in-law for further continuation of her studies. While so, on the request of LW-1, LW-4 brought the girl to the house of LW-1 on 16.3.2013 on the eve of pilgrimage tour of LW-2 and her husband to be held on 18.3.2013. Thereafter, on the same day evening at about 6.30 PM, Gadi Sravani attempted to commit suicide by pouring kerosene and set fire on her on the terrace of her building due to the mental harassment given by A1 with the support of A2 since the deceased vexed with her life due to the threatening of A1 with dire consequences.

cries, LWs 3 to 5 rushed there and shifted the deceased to KGH, Visakhapatnam and while undergoing treatment, the deceased succumbed to the burn injuries on 17.3.2013.

Thus in the light of the above charge sheet allegations, it is not a fit case to quash the proceedings so far as petitioner/A2 is concerned.

If the petitioner/A2 is advised, she can file a discharge application before the Trial Court and the Trial Court shall decide the same on merits.

With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.

As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
