THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10898 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.272 of 2011 on the file of the III Additional District Munsif Magistrate, Tirupathi, Chittoor District, whereby he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) and 506 of IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. It is case of the complainant that the petitioner and the de facto complainant are husband and wife and their marriage took place in the year 1997 and after the marriage, they lived happily for some time and thereafter the petitioner started harassing the complainant physically and mentally by suspecting her fidelity. Unable to bear the said harassment, she filed the present complaint. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations in the complaint and the charge sheet are general in nature and no specific overt acts or specific allegations made against the petitioner herein. After filing of this complaint also, the complainant has withdrawn an amount of Rs.77,000/- from the joint account of the petitioner and the complainant, that itself shows the freedom given by the petitioner to the complainant and the allegations made by her are baseless and are invented for the purpose of this case. This Court is of the view that the above contentions are to be decided at the time of trial only and the petitioner is directed to raise all the points before the trial Court and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. However, as the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, where the question of identity of the accused does not arise, 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 he shall properly be represented through his counsel. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 8th November 2011, Rns.
