The draft of the petition revolves around the offence under Section 498A of IPC. It is a classic case of reckless drafting at the hands of the counsel for the petitioner, as the offence involved, in the case at hand is not the one under Section 498A of IPC, but several other offences. The entire draft except the presentation sheet, depicts that it is a case of Section 498A of IPC. 2. Therefore, the petition stands dismissed solely on the score of such reckless drafting. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE GH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 1
