THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 5177 OF 2010 O R D E R: The application is filed to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.2068 of 2009 on the file of XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad. The petitioners are accused Nos. 2 to 4. A private complaint has been filed alleging that the complainant was cheated by the 1st accused, who is the son of A.3, and having married the complainant, she was put to harassment and subsequently, a marriage was said to have been performed with the 2nd accused, who is the 1st petitioner in this criminal petition. The question whether there was harassment or not and whether the marriage was with the knowledge of A.3 and with the consent, have no relevancy since the statement on oath of the complainant clearly goes to show that there was a marriage between her and the 1st accused and the liability of the accused persons of proof of the second marriage can only be established by taking the evidence. It is not a case for quashing of the proceedings at this stage. Therefore, the petition is devoid of merits and accordingly, the petition is dismissed. For any reason the presence of the accused is sought to be dispensed with, the lower Court may consider it. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 30-06-2011. INL
