HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2231 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-respondent Nos.5 and 6 approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C.No.29 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the 2nd respondent- wife lodged a complaint against her husband and other family members for the offences under Sections 498-A and 324 IPC on 03.09.2008 whereas the petitioners herein are not arrayed as accused therein and that after filing the said case, the 2nd respondent left her in-laws’ house on that day itself and hence the question of domestic violence does not arise in the year 2010. The offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial and is of the view that the learned counsel can raise the said contentions before the trial Court at the time of trial. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 11th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2231 OF 2011 (Dismissed) 11th March, 2011 CBS
