IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.6140 of 2009 DATE:17.03.2011 Between: Jakku Prasad and 2 others …… Petitioners And Jakku Laxmi and 3 others …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.6140 of 2009 ORDER : This petition was already dismissed on 11.08.2009 in so far as 1st petitioner is concerned, as it was not pressed by the petitioners’ counsel. 2) The petitioners 2 and 3 are brothers of the 1st petitioner. Even though the petitioners 1 to 3 divided their joint family properties in which A-schedule property came to the share of the 1st petitioner, the allegation is that the petitioners 2 and 3 are supporting the 1st petitioner and his concubine and they are harassing the 1st respondent/aggrieved party to allow the 1st petitioner and his kept-mistress in the same house. Therefore, the 1st respondent/aggrieved party filed D.V.C. No.3 of 2009 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Salur against the petitioners 1 to 3 and the alleged kept-mistress of the 1st petitioner for several reliefs. The aggrieved party is claiming inter alia protection against all the petitioners and another from committing any act of domestic violence against her. She is also claiming relief of restraining them from dispossessing her from the shared household in A-schedule property. Apart from that, she is also claiming compensation from all the petitioners and another for mental torture, distress and physical abuse said to have been caused by them. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that the petitioners 2 and 3 are not necessary parties to the domestic violence case filed by the 1st respondent in the lower Court. It is a matter to be enquired into and decided by the lower Court whether the aggrieved person is entitled for the said reliefs and if so, against which all the parties. I do not find any reason to quash the proceedings pending in the lower Court. 3) In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J March 17, 2011 ksh
