2. When this Criminal Original Petition was taken up, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner filed a divorce petition against the respondent, in HMOP No.16 of 2016 before the Subordinate Court, Kanchipuram, a maintenance case against the respondent in M.C.No.6 of 2016 before the Judicial Magistrate, Sriperumbudur, apart from filing a complaint in DVAC No.5 of 2016 before the Judicial Magistrate, Sriperumbudur, since they are jurisdictional Courts.
