(2.)PETITIONERS who are the respondents 2 and 3 in case pending in D.V.A.No.10 of 2013 on the file of VII Judicial Magistrate, Coimbatore,
seeks to quash all the proceedings as against them.
Learned counsel for petitioners submits that the proceedings in D.V.A.No.10 of 2013 are pending pursuant to a petition filed under
Section 12 of Domestic Violence Act. First and second petitioners are
husband and wife. Such petitioners as also the second respondent/ brother
of the first petitioner are accused of acts of Domestic Violence in the
complaint preferred by the first respondent. Learned counsel for
petitioners submits that even as per complaint of the first respondent,
she and her husband the second respondent were sent out of the family
home in 2005. The complaint further informs that the first respondent and
her husband/A1 left the first respondent's parents house and even
thereafter illtreatment and torture by her husband continued. While
admittedly the first respondent and her husband/A1 have been living
separately since 2005, a complaint stands registered in the year 2012
making wild allegations against the petitioners and of their having
committed acts of domestic violence against the complainant/first
respondent upto 2005.
(3.)LEARNED counsel would submit that it was pertinent to note the Domestic Incident Report of Social Welfare Office, Coimbatore dated
17.12.2012, informs of acts of domestic violence having been committed only by the husband of the complainant/first respondent. There has been
no domestic relationship between the petitioners and the first
respondents family since 2005. The petitioners could not be now called to
answer charges of domestic violence under the complaint dated 11.10.2012.
