THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.5593 OF 2010 ORDER: 1 This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.47 of 2010 registered by the Station House Officer, Medipalli in Karimnagar District for the offence punishable under sections 354, 324 and 506 of IPC against the petitioner herein. 2 Brief facts, according to the complainant by name Sura Raju W/o late Rajam, are that she gave her elder daughter by name Rajeswari in marriage to Allepu Chinna Ellaiah who is resident of Gangipet Village, Sarangapur Mandal about 10 to 12 years back and they were blessed with two children. Her son-in- law Chinna Ellaiah went to Dubai about four years back on cooli work and as he is not sending money to her daughter for the last one year, her daughter Rajeswari came back to their village Katlakunta and is living by doing cooli work there. It is further stated that her daughter Rajeshwari developed illicit intimacy with one Raju i.e. petitioner herein and though the complainant warned her daughter not to continue the said illicit intimacy with the said Raju, she did not give it up. On 06.06.2010 at about 2.00 PM when the complainant was not at the house, the petitioner came to the house and took her daughter Rajeshwari to the outskirts of the village and there he abused and beat her with a stick all over her body indiscriminately. In the evening when the complainant came to the house, her daughter informed her about the said incident. In the light of the said incident, as stated supra, the complainant approached the police and gave the complaint on the basis of which the said crime has been registered. 3 Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the said Rajeswari is willing to withdraw the said complaint and in that context she also gave an affidavit stating that she has never made any such statement either before her mother or before the police and the learned counsel for the petitioner also produced the said Rajeswari along with the petitioner before the court today. 4 May be it is true that the said Rajeshwari is willing to get the matter compromised, but, in my considered view, this petition cannot be entertained for the reason that she is not the complainant. The complainant is her mother by name Sura Raju. If the said Sura Raju who is none other than the mother of said Rajeshwari appears before this court and states that she is no more interested in getting the matter prosecuted, this court may exercise its inherent powers and quash the said proceedings. But, in the absence of the said complainant, though her daughter Rajeshwari appears before this court and gives an affidavit stating that she does not know who is this Raju and no such incident as alleged in the complaint has taken place, this court cannot exercise its inherent jurisdiction and quash the proceedings. 5 Accordingly, this petition is dismissed, however, liberty is given to the parties to approach the police concerned before whom the said crime is pending and bring all these facts to their notice and the police shall record the same and do the needful. -------------- 21.06.2010 C.C. today B/o Kvsn
