Garrepalli Karunakar v. The State Of Telangana

THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION No.951 of 2020 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is filed by petitioner/respondent to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.1 of 2017 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Asifabad, against him. 2.

Heard both sides and perused the record.

3.

In the light of the judgment of this Court in GADDAMEEDI NAGAMANI v. STATE OF TELANGANA1, this quash petition is not maintainable as Section 29 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, affords an efficacious remedy of appeal against the act of the Court below in taking cognizance and numbering the D.V.C.

4.

However, it is open to the petitioner to avail the appellate remedy in accordance with due procedure. It is needless to state that the petitioner is at liberty to file applications as set out in paragraph No.21 of Gaddameedi Nagamani's case, referred supra, before the appellate Court.

5.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. 6.

Miscellaneous Petitions, if any pending in this criminal petition, shall stand closed.
