THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA. ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 4206 OF 2008 DATED 17TH JUNE, 2010. BETWEEN Narapat Sankla @ Satish andanr …Petitioners and The State of AP, rep. By Public Prosecutor and anr ….Respondents. THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA. ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 4206 OF 2008 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482Cr.P.C. arises out of the case registered in Crime No. 52 of 2008 by the Station House Oﬃcer, Lalapet (L&O) Police Station, Guntur, for the oﬀence punishable under Sections 498-A, 506 r/w. 34 IPC, on the basis of the complaint lodged by the defacto complainant, wife of the petitioner. The main contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner is that the defacto complainant lodged a complaint belatedly after the receipt of the notice in divorce petition ﬁled by the ﬁrst petitioner. Further, the learned Counsel relied on the order passed in M.C.No. 187 of 1998 in which the learned Family Judge, Guntur, discussed the entire allegations and the allegations which are mentioned in the present complaint and ultimately decided the issue against the defacto complainant and dismissed the maintenance case. Relying on the same, the learned Counsel for the petitioner canvassed before this Court that even at the time of preliminary enquiry, the Investigating Oﬃcer primarily dropped the action against the other relatives of the ﬁrst petitioner concerned and therefore requested this Court to quash the complaint filed by the defacto complainant. After registration of the said complaint, this Court granted stay of all further proceedings pursuant to Cr.No. 52 of 2008 and therefore the respondent- police have not proceeded further to investigate the case. All the cases registered by the Investigating Agencies never end with positive reports against the accused persons. If the Investigating Oﬃcer is given an opportunity to investigate the matter in accordance with law, the allegations of the petitioner herein are apprised by the Investigating Oﬃcer. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is directed to produce the judgment of the Family Judge, Guntur and also relevant records in favour of him to decide the issue. On such production, the Investigating oﬃcer is directed to consider the same in accordance with law and complete the investigation and ﬁle report either way within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is further submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the ﬁrst petitioner is 80% physically handicapped. Taking into consideration this fact, the Apex Court also dismissed the transfer petition ﬁled by the defacto complainant in the divorce petition. In that view of the Investigating Oﬃcer is directed to ﬁx a date and examine the petitioner herein. With the above observation and direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. --------------- -------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO DATED 17T H JUNE, 2010. Msnr.
