HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8081 OF 2010 Dated : 24.08.2010 Between : Y.Krishna & others … Petitioners A n d The State of A.P. & others … Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8081 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioners-accused seeking to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.3 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Ramannapet, Nalgonda. When the matter is taken up for hearing, there is no representation either on behalf of the petitioners or their counsel. This Court perused the entire material on record. The complainant lodged a complaint before the Protection Officer by invoking the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The complaint reveals specific allegations of harassment against the petitioners. It is also alleged that on one occasion, petitioners tried to kill the complainant by pouring kerosene and setting fire. In view of the serious allegations, this Court is not inclined to entertain the Criminal Petition. However, in view of the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the appearance of petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the trial Judge insists for the same. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 24.08.2010 sur
