ORDER
The petitioner herein has been arrayed as accused No.1 among the
two accused in the instant Annexure A1 Crime No.1429/2019 of Pandalam
Police Station, which has been registered for the offences punishable under
Sections 498A, 324, 506 read with Section 34 of IPC on the basis of FI
statement given by the lady defacto complainant on 03.08.2019 at about
8.17 pm and the said alleged incidents happened during the period from
15.12.2016 to 03.08.2019. The lady defacto complainant in this case is the
wife of the petitioner herein (A1). The accused No.2 in the instant crime is
the brother of the petitioner herein (A1).
2. The prosecution case in short is that after the marriage of the
above said persons, the accused persons have treated the cruelty and
harassment on the lady defacto complainant and that they have demanded
more dowry and that the petitioner has assaulted her etc.
3. After hearing both sides and after careful evaluation of the facts
and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to take the view that
the custodial interrogation of the petitioner herein may not be necessary
for the smooth and fair conduct of the investigation in this crime.
