THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2187 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them 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 petitioners are under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. On perusing the entire material on record, no specific allegations are found against these petitioners in the present complaint. Further, though there appears to be a dispute with regard to partition of the property, the same can be decided by way of filing a civil suit. Even as per the learned counsel for the petitioners, already a civil suit with regard to partition of the property is filed before the competent Court and the defacto-complainant can seek remedy of her grievance in the said civil suit. In these circumstances, the proceedings against the petitioners are liable to be quashed. Accordingly, this criminal petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioners in D.V.C.No.7 of 2007 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nalgonda District, are hereby quashed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 31.03.2011 v v
