THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.10328 OF 2017 ORDER:

This petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (for short "Cr.P.C.") to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.347 of 2016 on the file of the 1st Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Tenali, Guntur District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A read with 34 of Indian Penal Code (for short "I.P.C.") and under Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Sri T.Nagarjuna Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners after arguing the matter for sometime, requested this Court to direct the police to follow guidelines formulated by the Apex Court in "Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P.1"

Acceding to the request of the learned counsel for the petitioners, without touching the merits, I find that it is a fit case to issue direction to the police to follow the guidelines issued by the Apex Court in "Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P." (referred supra). Accordingly, police concerned are directed to adhere to the guidelines issued in "Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P." (referred supra). With the above direction, the criminal petition is disposed of. No costs.

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