Criminal Application No.176 of 2009 filed in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class (3rd Court), Wardha. It appears that the learned trial Magistrate, after recording verification in respect of the complaint filed u/s. 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, was pleased to hold that the service effected upon non-applicant no.1 (therein) (applicant herein) was proper since brother of the applicant had accepted service on behalf of the applicant, The order was challenged in Criminal Revision Application No.176 of 2009. The learned Sessions Judge was pleased to record that it will not be appropriate to 2 pass any order regarding validity of service. Under these circumstances, the Revision was disposed of. Hence, the application is filed here in this Court u/s. 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Under the circumstances noted above, the prayer by the applicant cannot be granted once the applicant has decided to contest the proceedings before the learned trial Magistrate. For the above reasons, no ground is made out for to entertain this application. The application is dismissed. The learned trial Magistrate is expected to dispose of the proceedings expeditiously considering the nature of controversy between the parties. JUDGE jais
