THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1985 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners – accused 3, 4, 6 and 8 approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.389 of 2005 on the file of the XXII Metropolitan Magistrate-cum-Mahila Court, Hyderabad at Kukatpally, whereby they are facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A), 406 and 323 of IPC and 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act read with 34 IPC. Heard. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the entire occurrence took place at Aurangabad, whereas the complaint is filed at Hyderabad. Learned counsel for the petitioners questioned the same on the point of jurisdiction. Now, it is well settled that when the complainant is living at a place other than the matrimonial home, she can file a complaint where she resides. Secondly, learned counsel stated that no specific overt acts mentioned against the petitioners in the charge sheet. This Court perused the charge sheet. In the charge sheet, it is stated that the investigation reveals the complicity of the petitioners as stated in the complaint. It is not necessary to mention in the charge sheet that each and every allegation made in the complaint. The entire reading of the charge sheet reveals that the petitioners involved in the crime and further these are all the points to be raised at the time of trial only. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. Accordingly, the Criminal petition is dismissed. However, as the offence arising out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the trial court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 22nd December 2011 Rns
