THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1018 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.509 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sircilla, Karimnagar District, wherein he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Section 498- A of IPC. The main ground raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the complaint is barred by limitation. Even though the complainant left the matrimonial home about three years prior to lodging of the present complaint, in view of the nature of the offence alleged in the FIR being a continuous offence, this Court is of the view that the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner cannot be accepted. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with trial and this criminal petition is, accordingly, dismissed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 11.03.2011 v v
