THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6300 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner/A-4 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.596 of 2009 on the file of X Metropolitan Magistrate at Malkajgiri, Cyberabad, wherein he is facing trial for the offences punishable under Section 498-A, 323 and 505 IPC. The allegation against the petitioner/A-4, who is the brother-in- law of the aggrieved person, is that he used to visit the house of A-1 and instigated A-1 to harass his wife. The entire occurrence took place in United States of America. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the aggrieved person and A-1 filed a suit, seeking dissolution of their marriage, before the competent Court in the State of New Jersery, in the month of May, 2009. He further submitted that before the Court in U.S.A., the aggrieved person stated that she is in no way concerned with the present case as her mother filed the case. He also submitted that the contents of the present complaint does not disclose the ingredients of the alleged offences against the petitioner. Despite the notice being issued to the complainant/1st respondent herein, there is no representation on her behalf. Admittedly, the aggrieved person, who is the wife of A-1, is staying in U.S.A. In the above circumstances, this Court is of the view that there is nothing to suggest that the petitioner has committed the offences alleged against him. Accordingly, the criminal petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioner/A-4 in C.C.No.596 of 2009 on the file of X Metropolitan Magistrate at Malkajgiri, Cyberabad, are quashed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 03.11.2011 v v
