HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7465 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioner-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.188 of 2009 on the file of the III Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kothagudem, arose out of Crime No.201 of 2009 of III Town Police Station, Kothagudem, Khammam District, for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that earlier the defacto complainant, the 1st respondent herein, lodged a complaint with the Sub- Inspector of Police, Kothagudem, Khammam District, against the petitioner alleging that she married the petitioner and that her parents-in-law are harassing her for additional dowry. Subsequently, the 1st respondent withdrew the complaint stating that at the abetment of Mahila Mandali members, she foisted the case against the petitioner. Now, she again filed the present complaint against the petitioner alleging that the petitioner married her in the year 2003 and after marriage, her husband is harassing her physically and mentally. The learned counsel relied on the letter addressed by the 1st respondent to the S.H.O., I Town P.S., Kothagudem, withdrawing the case filed against the petitioner and also the final report in connection with Cr.No.171 of 2005 of the said P.S. with regard to closure of the said case due to lack of evidence. On perusal of the charge sheet in connection with Crime No.201 of 2009 of III Town P.S., Kothagudem, it is seen that the petitioner and the defacto complainant lived together as husband and wife in various places at various times and the petitioner harassed the defacto complainant physically and mentally. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial in C.C.No.188 of 2009 before the trial Court. However, the petitioner is at liberty to raise all the points that are raised in this criminal petition before the trial Court by way of a petition to discharge him. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 6th August, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7465 of 2010 (Disposed of) 6th August, 2010 CBS
