Heard. 3. There is no dispute about the fact of 1st petitioner addressing a letter to the husband of de facto complainant making several allegations saying that the de facto complainant is leading adulterous life etc. The complaint against 2nd petitioner, who is wife of the 1st petitioner, is of using similar language against the de facto complainant in the presence of others. As such, it is not a case where there is no prima facie case against the petitioners. Questions involved are facts which are to be decided only by the trial Court. The criminal petition is, therefore, devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. 4. The criminal petition is, accordingly, dismissed at the stage of admission. ________________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 10th November 2009 CVRK
