THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1712 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners-Accused 1 to 6 approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.397 of 2009 on the file of the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A), 323, 506 and 380 IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the de facto complainant and the petitioners never lived together under one roof. After the demise of the complainant’s husband, who is none other than the son of A-1 and A-2, complainant lodged the present complaint with an intent to grab money. But on perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that the points raised by the learned counsel, is a matter to be tried by the competent trial Court. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings and the petition is liable to be dismissed. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. In any event, considering the submissions made by the petitioners’ counsel and in view of the fact that the matter arises out of matrimonial offences, wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, that too, petitioners 1 and 4 being ladies, their presence before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and petitioners 1 and 4 shall be properly represented through their counsel. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 8th March 2011, Rns.
