THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.5926 of 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings initiated against the petitioners/A-2 and A-3 in Crime No.330 of 2016 of L.B. Nagar, Law and Order Police Station, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498 A, 506 read with Section 34 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners/A-2 and A-3 and the learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material on record.

Admittedly, a complaint was lodged by the second respondent/de facto complainant against the petitioners herein wherein specific allegations are made against them, the truth or otherwise of which can be ascertained only after due investigation into the crime by the investigating agency and the same cannot be determined at the investigation stage.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and also in view of the nature of offences alleged against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation against the petitioners/A-2 and A-3. However, in view of fact that the above crime arose out of matrimonial dispute, the Police concerned is directed to complete investigation without arresting the petitioners herein and file final report in accordance with law. In the event of necessity, the police concerned are at liberty to issue a notice to the petitioners for the purpose of investigation and on receipt of such notice the petitioners shall

appear before the police and cooperate with the investigating agency. In the event of failure on the part of the petitioners herein to appear before the police on receipt of such notice, the police are at liberty to approach this Court for recalling the present order. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed.
