IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.5110 of 2008 DATE:29.07.2010 Between: Mrs.Tahera Begum and others. …… Petitioners And: Smt.Ifath Shaheen and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.5110 of 2008 ORDER : The petitioners 1 to 7 who are the respondents 2 to 8 in D.V.C. No.12 of 2008 seek quashing of proceedings against them on the ground that omnibus allegations are made against all the family members including married sisters with a view to harass them and that impleading all the petitioners in the case is nothing but abuse of process of law. Having regard to the prayer in D.V.C. No.12 of 2008 in which the 1st respondent/aggrieved party claimed compensation of Rs.25,00,000/- from all of them, it cannot be said that they are not necessary parties before the lower Court. At the same time, since all the reliefs claimed in the case under Sections 18, 19, 20 and 22 are civil in nature, presence of these petitioners during enquiry on every date of adjournment is unnecessary, except on the date of delivery of judgment/order by the lower Court. 2) In the result, the petition is dismissed. However, the lower Court is directed dispense with presence of the petitioners 1 to 7 who are the respondents 2 to 8 in D.V.C. No.12 of 2008 on the file of the VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad (since transferred to I Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad) except on the date of delivery of judgment/order by the lower Court. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 29, 2010 KSH
