Y. Rajesh , Leela Rajesh v. The State Of A.P.,Rep.,Pp

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRL.P.NO.8261 OF 2016

O R D E R

This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in D.V.C.No.133 of 2014 on the file of I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada for the offence under Sections 18, 19, 20 and 22 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. 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, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that the presence of petitioner No.2 shall not be insisted upon, unless required for any specific purpose. Miscellaneous petitions pending if any, shall stand closed. No costs. ------------------------------ M.S.K.JAISWAL,J DATE:14.06.2016 avs
