THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2877 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in M.C.No.24 of 2009 on the file of the Family Court, Guntur. 2. Heard. 3. The respondent herein filed the above maintenance case under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The contention of the present petitioner is that the respondent, who is the petitioner in M.C. was married to one Maruthi on 20.12.2005. Suppressing the said fact, she wanted to marry the petitioner and that just before the proposed marriage between the petitioner and the respondent, the alleged earlier husband, by name Maruthi filed O.S.No.89 of 2007 on the file of III Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur and obtained injunction restraining the respondent herein from marrying. This fact was not known to the present petitioner and the marriage went through. Thereafter, the petitioner came to know about the subsisting earlier marriage of the respondent with Maruthi. There are several proceedings pending between the parties for annulment of marriage and 498 IPC etc. 4. Thus, there is dispute about the validity of the marriage of the present petitioner with the respondent. Learned counsel for the respondent contends that the suit O.S.89 of 2007 filed by the alleged earlier husband of the present respondent is yet to be decided and in fact she never married that Maruthi. Thus, till O.S.No.89 of 2007 is decided, there is no possibility of arriving at a conclusion as to whether the marriage between the present parties is in order. 5. Considering these circumstances, this petition is disposed of ordering stay of proceedings in M.C.24 of 2009 pending on the file of the Family Court, Guntur, and the parties need not appear also till the disposal of O.S.No.89 of 2007 pending on the file of the III Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur. ____________________ P.
