N THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH: HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD (23RD) DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN Present: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Criminal Petition No.11080 of 2010 Between: P. Venkatesham & 4 others … Petitioners And: The State of A.P., rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad & another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Criminal Petition No.11080 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the order dated 15.07.2010 in Crl.M.P.No.551 of 2010 in DVC No.172 of 2010 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. None appeared for the 2nd respondent. Perused the record. 3. The 2nd respondent herein filed DVC No.172 of 2010 against the petitioners before the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, claiming various reliefs under Sections 18, 19 and 20 of the D V C Act. She also filed Crl.M.P.No.551 of 2010 for grant of ex-parte interim relief. The learned Magistrate by order dated 15.07.2010 passed an order granting maintenance of Rs.3,000/- to the 2nd respondent herein and observing that other reliefs will have to be granted only after detailed enquiry. Aggrieved by the same, the present petition is filed. 4. Section 29 of the DVC Act specifically provides for remedy of appeal against the orders passed by the learned Magistrate under the provisions of the DVC Act. When specific remedy is thus, available to the petitioners to challenge the impugned order under the provisions of the Special Act, namely DVC Act, resort to Section 482 Cr.P.C. is uncalled for. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, this petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners to avail statutory remedy of appeal provided under Section 29 of the DVC Act. 5. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of as stated above. ___________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 23.11.2010 bss
