THIS CRL.P COMING ON FOR ADMISSION ALONG
WITH IA NO.1/2018 FOR STAY THIS DAY, THE COURT
MADE THE FOLLOWING:

ORDER

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners.

Perused the records.

2. The petition is filed seeking quashing of the

FIR in Crime No.115/2016 registered against the

petitioners by Hassan Women Police, Hassan City, for the

offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 448, 114, 506

r/w. 34 of IPC and also under Sections 3 4 of the Dowry

Prohibition Act and now it is pending before the 4th Civil

Judge and JMFC, Hassan.

3. Though there is some delay in filing the FIR in

this case, on the ground of delay itself, the FIR cannot be

quashed when the allegations made in the FIR would

constitute offences alleged. Therefore, the truth or the

falsity of the allegations made in the FIR has to be

thrashed out and the delay in lodging the complaint has to

be tested, during the course of investigation. Therefore, I

do not find any strong reason to quash the FIR. Hence,

the petition is devoid of merit and the same is liable to be

dismissed. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.

However, it is made clear that if any adverse report is

filed against the petitioners without any basis, they are

at liberty to approach this court once again.

4. In view of disposal of this case, the

application-IA No.1/2018 filed for stay, does not survive

for consideration. Accordingly, the said application stands

disposed of.
