P. Suri Reddy v. The State Of A.P

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.12512 of 2017 ORDER:

This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (for short "Cr.P.C.") to quash the proceedings in Crime No.578 of 2017 on the file of Sanjeev Reddy Nagar Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners after arguing the matter for sometime, requested this Court to direct the police concerned to follow the procedure laid down by the Apex Court in Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P1.

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 concerned to follow the procedure laid by the Apex Court in Rajesh Sharma v. State of UP (referred supra). Thus, the Police of Sanjeev Reddy Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad, are directed to follow the guidelines issued in Rajesh's case (referred supra).

With the above direction, this Criminal Petition is disposed of.

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