The VIII Additional Metropolitan Sessions Court, Nampally, on Thursday adjourned hearing in the dowry harassment case lodged by Sirija, the daughter of Praja Rajyam Party president K Chiranjeevi to April 16 as both the parties in the case did not turn up for family counseling sessions.
According to court directions both Sirija and her husband Sirish Bharadwaj should have attended family counseling sessions.
Sirija’s advocate appealed to the Magistrate to adjourn hearing on the matter as both the petitioner and the defendant failed to turn up for counseling.
Earlier, the Court had refused to grant anticipatory bail to Sirish Bharadwaj, son-in-law of actor-politician K Chiranjeevi after Sirija had filed a complaint against him for harassing her for dowry.
However, Sirish’s mother Suryamangala, the co-accused in the harassment case was granted anticipatory bail, albeit with certain conditions.
Sirija had alleged that Sirish Bharadwaj and his mother have been exploiting and ill-treating her for some time. She had also claimed in her complaint that her in-laws had demanded Rs 50 lakh as dowry from her.
City Crime Station women police station had registered a case in this connection.
