RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 1916 of 2009 Between: Mohammad Rahamathunnisa and others ..Petitioners and The State of AP and ohters …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 1916 of 2009 O r d e r: The petitioners herein are the accused in Cr.No. 54 of 2009 of Mangalagiri Town Police Station, Guntur District. The said case was registered on the complaint of the second respondent – lady, who is the wife of the second petitioner. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 498-A and 506 read with 34 IPC i.e., those relating to harassment of wife for valuable properties and for other reasons. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner says that the second petitioner has already sent a Talaq message on 26-2-2009 and thereafter the case was registered on 4-3-2009 and since the second respondent ceased to the wife of the second petitioner on 26.2.2009, the offences would not attract. There is no force in this contention. Whether the Talaq is valid or not and whether the allegations are true or not have to be decided in the course of investigation and subsequently by the court if the matter is taken to the court. It may be noted that the above allegations involve disputed questions of fact, which cannot be decided in this petition. 3. Accordingly this petition is dismissed. _____________________ N.
