Subsequent thereto, on 08.10.2010 she has
filed a petition under Section 125 of Cr.P.C seeking
maintenance against the second respondent herein.
6.
In the said petition, it has been contended that
the second petitioner unilaterally obtained divorce by
pronouncing triple Talaq on 15.08.2010.
7.
When the petition filed under Section 125 of
Cr.P.C was being contested by the second respondent
herein, on 14.05.2011 the petitioner herein files a
complaint before the jurisdictional police under Sections
498A, 323 and 506 read with Section 34 of IPC. In the
complaint, it has been contended that on 21.06.2009 the
marriage has taken place and on 12.05.2011 at about 9.30
p.m., the accused persons visited the house of the
complainant and picked-up quarrel and abused the
complainant and also gave her a life threat and therefore
sought for action against respondent Nos.2 to 5.
8.
It is also found from the complaint averments
that there was a demand for `10.00 lakhs of cash as dowry
5
for the purpose of opening a clinic. In the complaint, it is

dowry amount, the complainant was not allowed to join
the matrimonial home.

complainant and she filed protest petition and the learned
Magistrate after recording the sworn statement proceeded
to go ahead with the case. The respondent Nos.2 to 5
herein challenged the said action in the Criminal Petition
No.200430/2015. A Co-ordinate Bench of this court order
dated 11.08.2015 dismissed the petition seeking quashing
of further proceedings before the learned Magistrate.
However, the learned Judge in the Coordinate Bench has
also reserved the liberty for the respondent Nos.2 to 5
herein to file discharge application before the trial court.

Nos.2 to 5 herein filed an application seeking discharge.
The said application was contested by the petitioner herein
and learned trial Magistrate by order dated 28.09.2017,
dismissed the application. Being aggrieved by the same,

before the III Addl. District and Sessions Judge, Kalaburagi
