THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6695 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner/A2 approaches this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings against her in C.C.No.961 of 2010 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Anantapur, whereby she is facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 494, 506 and 324 of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. It is the case of the complainant that her marriage with the first accused was performed in the year 2001 and they blessed with two male children. Later, the first accused fell in love with the second accused and married her in the year 2009 without consent of the complainant. Due to that the first accused started threatening and harassing the complainant physically and mentally by saying that if the complainant does not agree for divorce, he would see her end. About ten days prior to the offence A1 caused bleeding injuries on the left hand of the complainant with blade and also on 22.04.2010 A1 kicked on her stomach with legs. Later A2 threatened the complainant with dire consequences over phone stating that if the complainant does not agree for divorce with A1, he would see her end. Hence, the complaint. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no evidence, except the allegation that petitioner threatened the first respondent-complainant by phone, to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime and the complaint does not disclose any prima facie case against the petitioner. 5. On perusal of the material on record, this court is of the view that the charge sheet filed by the respondent-police after completing thorough investigation reveals prima facie allegations against the first accused and the petitioner herein also. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. However, considering the nature of offence and the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and she shall properly be represented through her counsel before the court below. 6. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 21st October 2011, Rns.
