                        THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA

                         CRIMINAL PETITION No.6065 of 2025

ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya

Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, 'the BNSS') by the

petitioners/respondent Nos.2 to 4 to quash the proceedings against them in

D.V.C.No.01 of 2025 pending on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate at

Vemulawada.

2. Heard Sri Ch.Chaitanya Mitra, learned counsel for the petitioners and

Sri Arun Kumar Doddla, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for respondent

No.1 - State. Perused the record.

3. In the light of the judgment in Gaddameedi Nagamani v. State of

Telangana 1 a petition to quash the proceedings in Domestic Violence Case

is not maintainable, as Section 29 of the Protection of Women from Domestic

Violence Act, 2005 affords an efficacious remedy by way of an appeal against

the act of the Court below in taking cognizance and numbering the D.V.C.

4. In view of the above, the petitioners are at liberty to avail the said

alternative remedy.

5. However, in view of the request made by the learned counsel for the

petitioners, the appearance of the petitioner Nos.1 to 3 herein/respondent

Nos.2 to 4 in D.V.C.No.01 of 2025 pending on the file of Judicial First Class

Magistrate at Vemulawada, is dispensed with, except on the dates whenever

their presence is required by the trial Court, and they shall be represented

2015 (2) ALD (CRL.) 764

by their counsel on every date of hearing and in case of default, this order

gets vacated automatically.

6. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.

Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall also stand closed.
