ORDER

Seeking a direction to the respondent police to register the FIR based on the petitioner's complaint dated 14.07.2014, the petitioner has come up with this petition.

2.I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent and I have also perused the records carefully.

3.A perusal of the complaint would go to show that the marriage between the petitioner and her husband was celebrated on 14.06.2010. Now, after 4 years, the present complaint is made by the petitioner alleging that she has been harassed by her husband by demanding dowry.

4.From these allegations, what is made out is a matrimonial dispute which can be resolved only by the Civil Court and the said complaint does not warrant any investigation. Therefore, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed however, with liberty to the petitioner to work out her remedies in the manner known to law.

To

1.The Inspector of Police,
All Women Police Station,
Sankari, Salem District.

2.The Public Prosecutor,
