L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. - (1.) THIS is a rare case, in which, the efforts made by the wife of an elected representative, to protect her family boomeranged and resulted in imprisonment of herself, her relations and womenfolk that supported her. Fortunately for her, the record speaks for itself, and unfortunately for her, the trial Court has taken an erratic view.
(2.) A 1 is the wife of PW.2, a member of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency of Manwada, Karimnagar District. The deceased, by name, Radha was married to one Mr Lyagala Balaiah. That gentleman is employed in Gulf countries. It was alleged that Radha developed illicit intimacy with a police constable at her -in - laws place, Ellanthakunta. Her mother -in -law and sister -in -law are said to have raised objection for this. The mother of Radha, PW.3, filed a complaint against those two women. The dispute is said to have been resolved in a panchayat, with the participation of PW.2. Radha was said to have been admonished. A turn, comparable to the one, in The Helen of Troy, took place in the instant case. PW.2 brought Radha with him to Vemulawada, as a kept mistress and set up a family, by taking the premises of PW.1, on rent w.e.f 18.08.2009, even while the brother of Radha, PW.4 was in search of his sister for 4 or 5 days, and A1 was equally worried about the missing of her husband, for the same length of time. They ultimately came to know that Radha and PW.2 were living at Vemulawada. Thereupon, A1 and her relations, and friends A2 to A11 came to that place, and accosted Radha about her affair with PW.2. When the altercation was taking place, a local stringer became active with T.V.camera, and the incident was telecast, and on seeing that, the police arrived at the place.
(3.) STATING that, some injuries were received by Radha in abdomen, she was admitted in Amrutha Nursing Home at Vemulawada being run by PW.5. Curiously, enough, a complaint was submitted by the owner of the house of PW.1 narrating the incident. Crime No.204 of 2009 was registered by P.S. Vemulawada. The mother and brother of Radha, PWs.3 and 4 are also said to have visited her at the Hospital. PW.5 is said to have informed PW.2 that since the abdominal pain of Radha is subsiding, she must be shifted to hospital at Karimnagar or Warangal. However, his advice was not heeded to. Three days thereafter, the patient is said to have been shifted to M.G.Hospital, Warangal. There, she died on 30.08.2009.;
