Judgment
Order
Petitioners – A2 and A3 approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings against them in Crime No.141 of 2011 of Akividu Police Station, West Godavari District, whereby they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC and 34 IPC.
#2. Heard both sides.
#3. This Court perused the entire complaint. The complaint seems some allegations against the petitioners. Hence this Court is not inclined to go into at this stage by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C., since it is a matter to be investigated. But at the same time, in the present facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that the case can be investigated without making arrest of the petitioners. Hence, the respondent-police is directed to complete the investigation without making arrest of the petitioners and file final report either way.
#4. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. 14th December 2011, Rns. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO
