THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.779 of 2024

ORDER:

This Criminal Revision Case is filed challenging the order dated 01.12.2023 passed in Crl.M.P.No.29 of 2023 in S.C.No.454 of 2023 by the learned V Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar.

2. The brief facts of the case are that the police of Hayathnagar registered Crime No.414 of 2021 against accused Nos.1 to 3 for the offence under Section 304-B of IPC, based on a complaint lodged by the brother of the deceased. It was alleged that the deceased, who was married to accused No.1 on 11.03.2019, was harassed by her husband and in-laws for additional dowry of Rs.10,00,000/- to enable accused No.1 to go abroad. The deceased allegedly faced cruelty, physical harassment, and humiliation for not conceiving and ultimately committed suicide by hanging on 28.06.2021 at her residence in Hayathnagar. The Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the discharge petition contending that the statements of witnesses clearly established the role of accused Nos.1 to 3 in harassing the deceased for additional dowry and abetting her suicide. It was argued that the petition was not maintainable
