HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1732 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against her in C.C.No.168 of 2010 on the file of the Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Narsapur, West Godavari District. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner has not committed any offence even according to the statement given by the 1st respondent-defacto complainant and a reading of the charge sheet also does not disclose any offence committed by the petitioner. Therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. The offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under Section 498-A IPC. Admittedly, after due investigation, the police laid charge sheet against the petitioner and other accused and the learned Magistrate took cognizance of the offence and numbered the same as calendar case. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage and the learned counsel can raise the contentions before the trial Court at the time of trial. In any event, taking into consideration the submission of the learned counsel that the petitioner is suffering with Depressive Psychosis Disease and the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioner before the trial Court does not arise, her appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with, except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for her appearance and she shall be properly represented through her counsel. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 25th February, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.1732 of 2011 (Disposed of) 25th February, 2011 CBS
