Mohammed Hamza v. The State of Telangana
Case brief
What is this about?
In this criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the accused sought to quash proceedings under Sections 498-A and 506 IPC. The court held that since the prescribed punishment is less than seven years, it was appropriate to direct the petitioners to appear before the Investigating Officer. The petition was thus disposed of.
What did the court decide?
Petition dismissed without quashing; petitioners directed to appear before the Investigating Officer; procedure under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. to be followed.
