Palla Bal Reddy v. Palla Jyothsna

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRL.P.NO.10664 OF 2016

O R D E R

This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.10664/2014 on the file of V Additional District and Sessions Judge at Bhongir, registered against the petitioners, who are respondents 1 to 4 before the trial court, for the offences punishable under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State.

A perusal of the material on record reveals that specific allegations were made against the petitioners. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during course of trial. I see no ground to interdict at this stage and quash the proceedings.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the criminal petition is disposed of, directing the trial court to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, without insisting the presence of the petitioners, unless required for any specific purpose. The non-petitioner/husband shall appear before the lower court during the course of trial.

Miscellaneous petitions pending if any, shall stand closed. No costs. ------------------------------ M.S.K.JAISWAL,J DATE:22.07.2016 AVS
