Ajay Srivastava & Anr. ..Respondents .... Mrs. Ritu Ajay Srivastava applicant in person Mr.V.B.Konde-Deshmukh APP for State .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J. DATE : SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 P.C.: 1 Heard the applicant who is appearing in person. 2 The applicant was married to respondent no.1-Ajay Srivastava. The respondent no.2 is the mother of respondent no.1. The applicant has lodged FIR 547 of 2007 at Bandra Police Station, Mumbai. The said FIR is mainly under Section 498-A of IPC. The case arising out of the said FIR is pending before the Metropolitan 2 cr-apln-2636-10 Magistrate, 9th Court, Bandra, Mumbai which is numbered as 1352/PW/2008. The grievance of the applicant is that the case has been pending since long time and there is no progress in the matter hence, the trial in the said case be expedited. As far as this prayer is concerned, it is seen that there are earlier cases under Sections 498-A of IPC which are pending before the Court and hence, no case is made out for giving precedence to the applicant over the other cases. Hence, this prayer is rejected. 3 The applicant has further prayed for directions to the respondent no.1 and his mother to return her balance `stridhan' and other articles. As far as this prayer is concerned, proceedings under Section 498-A of IPC are pending before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate. It would be open to the applicant to move for appropriate reliefs before the trial Court. 4 The last prayer made by the applicant is that respondent should make available to the applicant reasonable good/decent accommodation in the vicinity of her matrimonial home. In relation to this prayer, it is noticed that the applicant has filed complaint under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act before the Court of Judicial 3 cr-apln-2636-10 Magistrate, Vashi. The said proceedings are numbered as M.A.No.100 of 2008. As the proceedings are pending before that Court, it would be appropriate that the applicant moves for the reliefs sought before the J.M.F.C. Vashi in the said proceedings. 5 Looking to the above facts, application is rejected with liberty to the applicant to prefer appropriate proceedings before the appropriate Court. [ SMT.
