THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24162 of 2009 ORDER: On a complaint submitted by the 4th respondent to the Station House Officer. P.S.Gannavaram, 3rd respondent herein, a case was registered under Section 498-A I.P.C. against her husband, by name Murali Mohan. The case is being tried as C.C.No.588 of 2009 by the Court of II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate-cum-Mahila Court, Vijayawada. A charge sheet was filed indicating the offence vis-à-vis the sole accused. Subsequently, the prosecution filed an additional charge sheet implicating the petitioners herein as A.2 and A.3. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the same. It is urged that once a charge sheet is filed in a case, the Court takes cognizance of the matter and it is not at all permissible for the prosecution to expand the scope thereof. Reliance is placed upon several judgments. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Home and Sri Bali Reddy, learned Senior Counsel appearing for respondent No.4 Though the complaint was filed against A.1 to A.3, the charge sheet was limited to the involvement of A.1. For all practical purposes, A.2 and A.3, petitioners herein were deleted from the array of the parties. Had the additional charge sheet been filed without permission of the Court, things would have been different altogether. The record discloses that on behalf of the prosecution, a memo was filed seeking permission to file an additional charge sheet. The trial Court ordered the same on 04.01.2010. It is thereafter that the additional charge sheet is taken on file. Therefore, it cannot be said that there was any procedural irregularity in taking the additional charge sheet on file. If the petitioners are so advised, they have to assail the very order passed by the trial Court according permission to the prosecution to file additional charge sheet. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to pursue their remedies vis-à- vis the order dated 04.01.2010 passed by the trial Court, according permission to the prosecution to file additional charge sheet. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 26.02.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24162 of 2009 Date: 26.02.2010 JSU
