HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7915 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.5, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against her in C.C.No.483 of 2009 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B. Nagar, Ranga Reddy District. On the basis of a report lodged by 2nd respondent-complainant, the police, C.I.D., Hyderabad, registered a case in Crime No.19 of 2004 against the petitioner-A.5 and four other accused for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC and, after completion of investigation, the Inspector of Police, Women Police Station, CID, Hyderabad, laid charge sheet against the accused for the said offence before the II Metropolitan Magistrate, L.B.Nagar, Cyberabad and the same was numbered as C.C.No.1631 of 2005. The case against the petitioner-A.5, A.1 and A.4 was split up, since they were absconding at the time of trial and the same was numbered as C.C.No.483 of 2009. From a perusal of the judgment dated 18.12.2009 in C.C.No.1631 of 2005, it is clear that P.W.1-complainant turned hostile to the case of the prosecution and, as such, the trial Court held that the prosecution has miserably failed to establish the case against A.2 and A.3 and, accordingly, acquitted A.2 and A.3 for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC. Subsequently, A.4 filed Crl.P.No.11571 of 2010 and A.1 filed Crl.P.No.13196 of 2010 for quashing of the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.483 of 209 and they were allowed by this Court by orders dated 30.11.2010 and 29.12.2010 respectively. Having regard to the fact that the complainant herself turned hostile and did not support the case of the prosecution and that the case against the remaining accused ended in acquittal, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served by conducting a regular trial against the petitioner herein and, as such, the proceedings against the petitioner herein are liable to be quashed. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner-A.5 in C.C.No.483 of 2009 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B.Nagar, Ranga Reddy District, are hereby quashed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 5th September, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.7915 of 2011 (Allowed) 5th September, 2011 cbs
