THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2502 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioner approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in DVC.No.7 of 2007 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nalgonda. Heard. The reliefs sought for by the second respondent herein against the petitioner are under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner and most of the reliefs sought for by the defacto- complainant are only against this petitioner, who is her husband. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial against this petitioner. Hence, this criminal petition is dismissed. However, considering the fact that the allegations leveled against the petitioner arose out of matrimonial dispute wherein the question of his identity does not arise, his presence before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Magistrate insists for his presence and he shall be properly represented by his counsel before the trial Court. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 31.03.2011 v v
