The respondent herein has filed the said case under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, seeking certain protection orders. 3.

In such view of the matter, I find no reason to quash the proceedings. Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure cannot be invoked in a mechanical fashion so as to interfere with the proceedings pending before the Trial Court. Unless there are specific grounds raised, like maintainability, limitation, want of jurisdiction etc., it is not possible for this Court to interfere with the same. The guidelines issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Bajanlal H.Rajeja vs. G.Sethuraman & another reported in 1998 3 LW 349, do not come to the help of the petitioners at all. Therefore, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CO) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.
