THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.13196 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed for quashing of the proceedings initiated against the petitioner-A1 in C.C.No.483 of 2009 on the file of the II-Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy District. On the basis of a report lodged by the 2nd respondent complainant, the police, C.I.D, Hyderabad, registered a case in Crime No.19 of 2004 against the petitioner-A1 and 4 other accused for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C and after completion of investigation, the Inspector of Police, Women Police Station, CID, Hyderabad, laid charge sheet against the accused for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C. before the II-Metropolitan Magistrate, L.B.Nagar, Cyberabad and the same was numbered as C.C.No.1631 of 2005. The case against the petitioner-A1, A4 and A5 was split up since they were absconding at the time of trial and the same was numbered as C.C.No.483 of 2009. From a perusal of the judgment dated 18.12.2009 in C.C.No.1631 of 2005, it is clear that P.W.1-complainant turned hostile to the case of the prosecution and as such the trial court held that the prosecution has miserably failed to establish the case against A2 and A3 and accordingly acquitted A2 and A3 for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C. Subsequently, Accused No.4 filed Crl.P.No.11571 of 2010 for quashing of the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.483 of 2009 and the same was allowed by this Court by an order dated 30.11.2010. Having regard to the fact that the complainant herself turned hostile and did not support the case of the prosecution and that the case against the other accused ended in acquittal, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served by conducting a regular trial against the petitioner herein and as such the case against the petitioner herein is liable to be quashed. The Criminal Petition is accordingly allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner-A1 in C.C.No.483 of 2009 on the file of the II-Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy District, are hereby quashed. _____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 29-12-2010 Gsn.
