THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.8395 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition is filed by Koduru Rama Chandra – petitioner - respondent under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.12 of 2009 on the file of the X Metropolitan Magistrate, Malkajgiri, Cyberabad. 2. Heard both sides. 3. As seen from the record, there is no dispute that the petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant and the reliefs claims are definitely maintainable against the petitioner. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the incidents have taken place before the Domestic Violence Act came into force, cannot be accepted at this stage in view of the reliefs claimed by the complainant. Hence, there are no grounds to entertain this petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J.
