Mr.V.D.Rakh, APP for State. Mr.P.N.Kutti, Adv., for R.1 to 3. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE:June 30th, 2011 1. Heard learned Counsel. 2. Below Exh.14, an application was moved in Criminal Case No.162/2008, seeking to stay the proceedings as the wife has already initiated maintenance proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. 3. Reading the order and the papers I find, the application under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act was by the wife Smt.Sonal while proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. are at the behest of children, Ninad and Gayatri. That apart, the scheme under the Act, 2 cr.apl no.4757/2010 particularly, Section 20(d) and 28 does not inhibit the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, to proceed with the case under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act even if proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. are taken up by the other side. Application lacks merit, dismissed. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE ... AGP/4757-10crapl
