HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.11486 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed for quashing of the proceedings initiated against the petitioners-A1 and A2 in C.C.No.407 of 2005 on the file of the Court of the IX- Metropolitan Magistrate, Kukatpally, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C. While ordering Notice Before Admission, this Court, on 07.12.2010, directed the learned Counsel for the petitioners to take out personal notice to respondents 2 and 3 and file proof of service and further granted interim stay of all further proceedings in C.C.No.407 of 2005. Today, when this matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the respondents 2 and 3 herein i.e., father-in-law and wife of the 1st petitioner-A1 respectively died during the pendency of the proceedings and to substantiate the same he produced the death certificates issued by the Panchayat Secretary, Eduru Gram Panchayat, T.P. Gudur Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. From a perusal of the aforesaid death certificates, it is clear that the 2nd respondent by name Ch.Ramana Reddy died on 21.06.2003 and the 3rd respondent by name I.Surekha died on 15.05.1999. Since the 2nd respondent- complainant and the 3rd respondent-victim died during the pendency of the case, in my considered view, the continuance of the criminal proceedings against the petitioners herein is nothing but an abuse of process of Court. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners-A1 and A2 in C.C.No.407 of 2005 on the file of the Court of the IX- Metropolitan Magistrate, Kukatpally, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, are hereby quashed. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 18.01.2011 Gsn.
