THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.8434 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner Nos.1 to 3/A1 to A3 question proceedings in C.C.No.95 of 2011 on the file of I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam relating to offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 342 and 506/34 IPC, on the ground that previously respondent No.2/de facto complainant filed similar case for similar offences against the petitioners in the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad in C.C.No.177 of 2006 and that it is pending trial and that there can be no two prosecutions for the same allegations in two different courts against the same persons. 2. C.C.No.177 of 2006 was filed against petitioner Nos.1 and 3 showing them as A1 and A2 at Hyderabad for the offences under Sections 498A and 406 IPC. Petitioner No.2 is not a party or an accused in C.C.No.177 of 2006. As per the allegations in C.C.No.95 of 2011 of Visakhapatnam, the incident reported therein occurred subsequent to institution of C.C.No.177 of 2006 at Hyderabad. From the contents of chargesheet in C.C.No.95 of 2011, it is evident that there was re union between the parties subsequent to C.C.No.177 of 2006 and that there was further harassment for respondent No.2/victim and that in the meantime she conceived another pregnancy also. Since C.C.No.95 of 2011 is based on subsequent causes of action, which took place after C.C.No.177 of 2006, it cannot be said that respondent No.2 cannot maintain two prosecutions against the petitioners. In that view of the matter, I find that there is no substance in this petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 3. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. __________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J September 16, 2011.
