¶13

In the considered opinion of this Court, once Loganathan has invoked the revisional jurisdiction of the Sessions Court, he is precluded from approaching this Court u/s 397(3) Cr.P.C. However, in extraordinary cases where grave injustice has occurred, it is open to the party to approach this Court u/s 482 Cr.P.C. In this case, this Court does not find any serious impropriety or illegality in the orders of the Courts below warranting interference u/s 482 Cr.P.C. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act is a beneficial legilsation intended for getting immediate succor to women who have been left in the lurch. The petitioner had a remedy u/s 34 of the Act to file a regular appeal before the Sessions Court which he did not utilise. Hence, this petition is dismissed. Connected M.P. is closed. gms Sd/Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.The Judicial Magistrate No.1, Kancheepuram. 2.The District Judge, District Court-II, Kancheepuram. 3. -do- thro' The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kancheepuram. 4.The Public Prosecutor, High Court, Chennai. + 1 cc to Mr.D.Ravichander, Advocate Sr 35245 + 1 cc to M/s.R.J.Yoga Anandhi, Advocate Sr 34687 KR/1/7/16 Crl.OP No.8735 of 2016
