HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 3617 of 2011 O R D E R: Petitioners herein are A-3 and A-4 in the C.C.No.30 of 2001 on the file of the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Mahboobnagar. It is seen that the case against them was subsequently separated and numbered as the present C.C. No.140 of 2008 on the file of the said Court. The offence alleged is under Section 498-A IPC. The first contention of the petitioners is that the original case C.C.No.30 of 2001 against A-1 and A-2 ended in acquittal and therefore this case against them should be quashed. The second contention raised is that A-4 was a minor and A-3 is now a mentally ill person and therefore on this ground also the case should be quashed. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor. So far as the first ground is concerned, it may be noted that there is no rule that just because the main case has ended in acquittal, the second case against the other accused should be quashed or should also end in acquittal. The result of the separated case depends upon the evidence adduced in the said case. This apart, it is brought to my notice that C.C.No.30 of 2001 was also a contested one. In view of this, the first contention is rejected. As regards the second contention raised by the petitioners’ counsel it shall open for the petitioners to approach the concerned Judicial First Class Magistrate Court and plead before him that the 1st petitioner is a mentally ill person and there upon the Magistrate can decide that aspect and take the necessary steps under the Cr.P.C. according to its decision insofar as she is concerned. Likewise, with regard to the 2nd petitioner, it shall be open for him also to plead before the said Court that he was a minor or juvenile and the said Court may pass orders thereon. Thus the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court can consider the pleas of parties and dispose of the matter. Accordingly, I find that this is not a fit case for interference under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and this petition is accordingly dismissed. ______________​____ N.RAVI SHANKAR,J 28th April, 2011. PNV
