IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERAAD Friday, the 10th day of June, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 3920 of 2011 Between: Adari Bhskar Rao and another …Petitioners and The State of AP and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 3920 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the petitioners’ counsel and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. In this petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. the petitioners are seeking to quash the proceedings in criminal case – C.C.No. 400 of 2011 on the file of the court of I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. The petitioners are A-1 and A-2 in the said case. The offence alleged is under section 498-A IPC. The first petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant and the second petitioner is the mother of the first petitioner. The plea of the petitioners is that the allegations are omnibus and therefore the case should be quashed. The other point raised is that A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6 filed a criminal petition for quashing the proceedings against them and that has been admitted by this court on 8.4.2001 and interim stay has been granted. That petition is Crl.P.No. 3153 of 2011. It should be noted that A-3 and A-4 are sisters; A-5 is the husband of A-4, while A-6 is stated to be a niece of first accused. Hence the case against them is different and it cannot be said that it is similar against these two petitioners also. In the above circumstances it follows that this petition cannot be entertained. 3. However, it is represented by the petitioners’ counsel that the second petitioner is a lady aged 52 yeas, she has got health problems and cannot attend the court on every date of hearing. Having regard to this submission, the presence of the second petitioner before the trial court on every date of hearing is dispensed with and she can be represented by a counsel. Further, the trial court can order her presence before it as and when it considers necessary. 4. With the above direction this petition is dismissed. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J.
