Somalanka Mahesh v. Smt. Somalanka Jhansi

HONOURABLE Dr. JUSTICE B.SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6581 2015 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners/accused under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash the proceedings in crime No.22 of 2015 on the file of Special Judicial First Class Magistrate for Excise, West Godavari District, Eluru, where cognizance was taken for the offence punishable under Section 498-A and 420 r/w 34 I.P.C.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor (Andhra Pradesh) for the State before notice to respondent No.1/de facto complainant and before admission.

The above crime was registered on the report of respondent No.1/de facto complainant. A1 is the husband, A2 and A3 are parents-in-law, A4 to A6 are other relatives of the de facto complainant and A7 is the mediator to the marriage of the de facto complainant.

Perused the material on record. As the facts fall short for this Court to admit the application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. but the factual matrix entitled to the concession of bail, this application is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to surrender before the learned Magistrate and move for regular bail with notice to Assistant Public Prosecutor and in such an event the learned Magistrate shall hear and grant bail on the same day with necessary

conditions. Needless to say, at the post bail stage pending investigation, the presence of the petitioners before the Court can be dispensed with. In the event of police filing final report or any cognizance taken by the Magistrate, further remedy is left open to the petitioners.

Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions pending if any, shall stand closed.
