Case in Brief
Roninki Lakshmi, aged 29 years is wife of Roninki Appala Naidu. They have two children Yesebu(13) and Gnyanu(11). Appala Naidu works as Conservency Safaiwala in Station Head Quarters Cell (EO) – AMC Regiment at Langar House near water tank. Appala Naidu has two elder brothers Roninki Simhachalam, aged 40 years and Roninki Jaddanna, aged 39 years. They lived in Langer House for 20 years. His mother Roninki Eeramma bought house site of 130 sq. yards bearing RS No. 118 in Lakshmi Nagar and built a house where whole family lived together. She registered the same on the names of Appala Naidu and Simhachalam, 65 sq. yards each. Appala Naidu borrowed Rs.80,000/- from various sources and repaired the house. Later his mother repaid the principle and interest amounting to Rs.1,50,000/- with the amount she got after her retirement. Later Appala Naidu agreed to pay back Rs.35,000/- to his brothers as they asked for share in the amount received by his mother. Lakshmi along with her family shifted to a rented house unable to bear the nuisance created by her brother-in-laws. Ultimately they landed into debts to a tune of Rs.2,00,000/- from private money lenders to meet the rental and domestic expenditure. As they were unable to repay the debts, the money lenders started abusing Lakshmi with filthy language, likewise Erukala Mallesh and Biswas beat up Appala Naidu. Satyam used to send his people and forcibly take Appala Naidu to his shop and harass him. All the money lenders threatened him of dire consequences which intimidated Appala Naidu from attending his duties. He even lodged a complaint in the Langer House PS.
As he failed to repay, the harassment from the money lenders increased, thus, Lakshmi along with her family shifted to Janawada, Shankarapalli (m), Ranga Reddy. As there was no income, to feed the family, they have again borrowed Rs.24,000/- from Narsamma of Jonnada. Unable to bear the harassment of Biswas, Narsamma, Swami and his wife, Lakshmi left to her parents.
Appala Naidu was forced to sign on the sale deed of his house in the presence of the local elders Ravindra Reddy and Narsinga Rao, stating that all his debts shall be cleared and paid Appala Naidu Rs.20,000/-. But to his pity, no debts were cleared apart from the payment made to Sardar and Asif.

He used to pass comments, staring at her, driving Motorcycle by her side very fast, even he was putting many attempts to talk to her, but his all efforts went vain. Thus Anju, was upset by his conduct and way of approach to her, she was unable to remonstrate against him, because he was very rude in nature. Having not found any other way, she left for her elder sister’s home in Firozabad and stayed for 15-16 days, thinking that he would not go there to disturb. Unfortunately Viresh Singh went to Firazabad, where Anju was staying with her sister by his Motorbike and repeated the same comments. Anju, notwithstanding the matter, complained to her sister’s mother in-law, Sarada Devi. She protested against the nature of Viresh. As a result they had very irritable argument among themselves for 20-25 minutes. Viresh warned her while going from the village that “Ek din a Sali konjoriya ka ghomond jarur chur kar dunga, Sali hamari beijati ki” one day or the other day he would see to Kanjariya (Sub Caste) as she disgraced him.
