Hyderabad: Justice Juvvadi Sridevi ruled that under Article 482 of the CRPC, the inherent power of the High Court can be invoked to withdraw the lawsuit, especially when criminal cases apparently arise with Malafi’s intention or are brought with ulterior motives. The judge is ruling for criminal petitions filed by five people. According to the complaint, the marriage between the complainant and the petitioner was solemn in 2010. Shortly after the marriage, the defendant, including her husband, his parents, brothers and married sisters, was allegedly physically and mentally harassed by the complainant to obtain additional dowry. The complainant claimed that after a girl was born, the defendant forced her to kill the baby because of her dark skin color, and subsequently deported her from her marital residence. The petitioner’s lawyers believed that the allegations were unproven and lacked the essential elements that attracted the dowry prohibition Act. It is believed that the complainant had earlier filed similar complaints in 2013, including maintenance and domestic violence procedures, which were ultimately compromised. After that, all parties resumed living together, had another child, and lived a rather peaceful life. The current complaint was filed in 2021 and is based on the same allegations as earlier allegations, thus clearly demonstrating the malicious intention of harassing the petitioner. The judge stressed that naming family members only in dowry-related complaints without specific and specific charges is equivalent to abuse of the legal process and therefore cannot be allowed to be tried. The judge used these principles to find that there was no mention of the specific date, time or place of the alleged cruel act, nor any public acts attributed to the petitioner. It was also observed that they lived separately and had little contact with the complainant. The judge ruled that in the absence of specific and apparently reliable allegations, the continuation of criminal proceedings would equal the abuse of judicial proceedings.
HC stops hospital. Degradation in Jammikunta
EV Venugopal of the Telangana High Court granted temporary protection to the Sapthagiri Hospital in Jammikunta and retained a lawsuit issued in March 2025 by District Medical and Health Officials and District Registration Office Karimnagar, which canceled the registration and included it on the block list. The judge accepted the writ filed by the hospital management. The petitioner’s case is that notice of damage was issued without proper procedures, especially without prior notice or opportunity to hear, a violation of the Clinical Institutions Act of 2010. The court held that the matter needed a detailed examination, especially in view of the so-called rejection of natural justice. Therefore, it approved further litigation arising from being notified of obstacles until the next hearing. The court issued a notice before admission to the respondent and directed the authorities to file a counter-devote. The matter has been issued for further ruling.
