IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD DATED: THIS the 21st day of April, 2011 PRESENT: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 3802 of 2008 Between: Vasanthula Govinda Rao ..Petitioner and Vasanthula Vijayalakshmi and another Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 3802 of 2008 Order: This petition is laid by the husband in D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 on the file of the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bobbili. The wife and two children laid D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 against the husband. 2. The husband laid the present petition seeking for quashing of D.V.C. No.8 of 2008. This is the stage of the case. There is no representation for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the petition has become infructuous and nothing survives in this petition. 3. As already pointed out D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 was laid by the wife. The other two petitioners in the said D.V.C. are the two minor children of the wife and the husband. Unfortunately, the wife would appear to have died subsequent to the filing of this petition. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3, who are the wife and minor children, himself, pointed out that after the death of the wife, who is the first respondent herein, the two minor children, who are respondent Nos. 2 and 3 herein, joined their father, who is the husband and the sole petitioner herein. Thus, when the wife is no more and when the children joined their father, no cause in D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 survives. Consequently D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 is liable to be quashed. 4. Accordingly the petition is allowed. D.V.C.No. 8 of 2008 on the file of the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bobbili is quashed. _____________________ K.G. SHANKAR, J.
