THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 4893 of 2011 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.11 of 2011 on the file of II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Eluru. According to the petitioners, they do not come within the definition of domestic relationship under Section 2(q) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 to attract the proceedings. But the fact remains that all of them are family members and related to the complainant and also her husband. Therefore, though there are general allegations against them, at this stage, it is difficult to find them as untrue. Therefore, the petitioners’ presence is dispensed with. However, they can participate in the said proceedings through an Advocate and defend them. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ________________________ N.R.L.
