(BY SRI. THEJESH P, HCGP FOR R1)

     THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE
CONSTITUTION OF INDIA R/W SECTION 482 OF CR.P.C
PRAYING TO QUASH THE ENTIRE PROCEEDINGS IN CC NO.
599/2022 ON THE FILE OF PRINCIPAL CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC,
PUTTUR, DAKSHINA KANNADA REGISTERED FOR THE OFFENCE
PUNISHABLE UNDER SECTION 498A, 323, 324, 504, 506 AND
34 OF IPC AS AGAINST THE PETITIONER AS PER ANNEXURE-A
AND ETC.,

     THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY
HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM:     HON'BLE MR JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA


                       ORAL ORDER

Heard the learned counsel, Shri Abdul Rahiman Nihal appearing for the petitioners.

2. The petitioners are before this Court calling in question the proceedings in C.C.No.599 of 2022 on the file of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Puttur, Dakshina Kannada, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 323, 324, 504, 506 and 34 of IPC. -3-

NC: 2024:KHC:29895 WP No. 18927 of 2024

3. The learned High Court Government Pleader, on instructions would submit that the charges have already been framed by the concerned Court and the matter is set at the stage of evidence.

4. If the charges are framed and the matter is set at the stage of evidence, this Court would not entertain the petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., to put the clock back to the stage of registration of the FIR. Further, any interference now would run foul of the Judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Minakshi Bala Vs. Sudhir Kumar reported in (1994) 4 SCC 142. The petition is thus disposed, reserving liberty to the petitioners to urge all the contentions before the concerned Court at the appropriate time.
