Learned counsel further submits that the de-facto complainant also filed a maintenance case before the Family Court, Guntur, and a Domestic Violence Case before the Court of the Special Judicial First Class Magistrate for Railways, Guntur. According to the learned counsel, all these cases have been filed only to harass the petitioner and his family members.
