Judgment
The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short “Cr.P.C.”) to quash the proceedings in Crime No.40 of 2010 on the file of Women Police Station, Kurnool. The petitioners are A2, A3, A6 and A7 in Crime No.40 of 2010, which was registered for the offences under Sections 498-A, 406 read with Section 34 of IPC and Sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The petitioners 1 and 2, who are ladies and the petitioners 3 and 4, who are the husbands of petitioners 1 and 2 respectively, are said to be not residing with the 1st accused. They are said to be married long back and living separately. However, at the stage of investigation, when some allegations were made against them, it is difficult for this Court to quash the proceedings and, therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the request of the petitioners for quashing of the F.I.R. is not tenable. However, in case of arrest of these petitioners, the police shall release the petitioners herein on executing a personal bond for Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each with one surety for the likesum each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer.
