Order

1. Petitioners have preferred the present misc. petition
under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. claiming the following relief :-
(Downloaded on 05/09/2019 at 08:59:23 PM)
(2 of 3) [CRLMP-4679/2019]
“It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that the petition
of the petition may kindly be allowed and FIR
No.112/2019, police station Mahila Thana East, Under
Sectionsection 498A, Section406, Section323 IPC may Kindly be quashed and
set-aside qua petitioners in the interest of justice.”
2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners
submits that for the matrimonial allegations, there has been over
implication of the family members and they have been arrayed as
accused persons. Learned counsel for the petitioners further
submits that the petitioner no.1 husband is ready to keep his
legally wedded wife with him.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submits
that the petitioners want to submit a representation alongwith all
the relevant documents before the concerned investigating
authority to redress the issue.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor assures this Court that if the
petitioners submit a representation along with all the necessary
documents before the concerned investigating authority within a
period of ten days from today, then the same shall be considered
and decided strictly in accordance with law, before completing the
investigation.
5. In light of the aforesaid assurance given by learned
Public Prosecutor, the present misc. petition is disposed of with a
direction to the concerned investigating authority that in case the
petitioners submit a representation along with all the necessary
documents before it within a period of ten days from today, then
the same shall be considered and decided before completing the
investigation, strictly in accordance with law and as per the
assurance given by the learned Public Prosecutor.
(Downloaded on 05/09/2019 at 08:59:23 PM)
(3 of 3) [CRLMP-4679/2019]
6. In the peculiar facts of the case, it would be
appropriate to grant protection from arrest to the petitioners no.2
to 6 only as it will be a waste of energy and resources of the Police
Department to run after the accused to complete the related
investigation and without protection it would also cause
unnecessary hardship to the accused, who deserves a basic
opportunity of explaining his case before the Investigating
Authority without fear of arrest. The Investigating Officer,
however, shall have the liberty of custodial interrogation after
giving 15 days’ notice before arrest if required. In the interest of
justice and the facts and circumstances noted by this Court, the
limited protection is justified. Therefore, if during the
investigation, the concerned investigating authority needs to
arrest the petitioners no.2 to 6, then the petitioners no.2 to 6 shall
be given 15 days’ notice before making such arrest. The
petitioners no.2 to 6 shall be required to join the investigation.
The petitioners no.2 to 6 shall be at liberty to approach this Court
again, in case need arises.
7. The stay petition also stands disposed of.
