M.Srikanth, S/O. M.Anjaneyulu, v. State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE B. SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6544 of 2017 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners/A.1 to A.8 in crime No.128 of 2017 of Chegunta Police Station, Medak District, registered for the offences under Sections 498-A & 307 IPC and Sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, and also learned Public Prosecutor representing the State.

Prima facie there is no injury much less even an averment of squeezed by caught hold of neck to attract the offence under Section 307 IPC, but for the other offences under Sections 498-A IPC and Sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. In view of the order of this Court dated 31.07.2017 in Crl.P.No.6493 of 2017 relying upon the latest two Judge Bench expression of the Apex Court dated 27.07.2017 in Crl.A.1265 of 2017 (SLP (Crl.) No.2013 of 2017 in Rajesh Sharma & Others Vs. State of U.P. & Another), this is a fit case to refer the matter to the Committee for report to consider any reconciliation. Having regard to the above and as per the directions of the Apex Court, the Criminal Petition is disposed of while directing the Investigation Officer to investigate, but not to arrest the petitioners unless report of the Committee on its constitution is received, however this does not prevent the securing for interrogation as part of investigation.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________________ JUSTICE Dr. B.SIVA SANKARA RAO Date: 01.08.2017 ska
