THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10225 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed with a prayer to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in DVC No.1 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Palkole, West Godavari District. 2. Heard. 3. The petitioner herein is the 2nd respondent in DVC and is said to be the sister-in-law of the complainant. The DVC was filed for the reliefs of grant of maintenance, refund of dowry amount, damages etc., against the 1st respondent. No relief or any allegations, involving the petitioner herein, were made in the compliant. If any other criminal case is instituted, it is a different matter. But, so far as the reliefs mentioned and claimed in the DVC, there is nothing to be proceeded against the petitioner and continuation of proceedings against the petitioner will cause hardship to her. I find no ground to continue the proceedings against the petitioner. 3. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in DVC No.1 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Palkole, West Godavari District in so far as the petitioner herein, are quashed. ______________________ N.R.L.
