The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the de facto complainant and her followers attacked the house of the petitioner on 19.7.2011, for which Crime No. 163 of 2001 was registered for the oﬀence under Sections 323, 452, 506 and 509 IPC; as a counter blast, the present complaint has been lodged with false allegations; hence prayed to quash the impugned proceedings.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions ﬁled in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:24.11.2011 CHV
