1. This Criminal Petition is filed to quash the proceedings against
the petitioners/A1 to A5 in C.C.No.2271 of 2019 on the file of the
Principal Junior Civil Judge-cum-VIII Additional Metropolitan
Magistrate, Cyberabad, Kukatpally, for the offences under Sections
498-A, 420, 506 of IPC, and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition
Act.
2. The petitioners were arrayed as A1 to A5 in the charge sheet
filed by the Miyapur Police Station for the offences under Sections
498-A, 420, 506 of IPC, and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition
Act.
3. The 2nd respondent filed a complaint on 20.04.2019 alleging
that her marriage with A1 was performed on 24.02.2019. At the
time of marriage, her parents gave a dowry of Rs.20.00 lakhs as per
the demand of the accused. Two or three days after the date of
marriage, A1 and others started harassing her both physically and
mentally by demanding the additional dowry. Further, they also
took 95 tulas of gold by beating her. Further, the petitioners were
demanding that half of her father’s property be transferred in their
name. Though A1 claimed that he completed M.Tech from IIIT
Hyderabad, however, her enquiry revealed that he had only joined a
Post Graduate Programme and had not enrolled in a Ph.D
programme at IIIT, Hyderabad. In the bio-data sent prior to the
marriage, it was mentioned that A1 had an annual income of
Rs.45,60,000/-. However, this was incorrect, and the actual income
is unknown. Accordingly, on the basis of the said investigation, a
charge sheet was filed for the offences under Sections 498-A, 420,
and 506 of IPC, and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.
