JUDGMENT This Criminal Appeal is filed against the order passed in S.T.C.No. 42 of 2007 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Madurai, dated 13.03.2009.

Therefore, the Court below has rightly dismissed the complaint and acquitted the respondent/accused for the offence under Section 256 of Cr.P.C. Hence, this Court finds no infirmity or illegality in the order of dismissal by the Court below. Therefore, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.
