THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8597 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.10 of 2007 on the file of the Special Judge for CBI Cases, Hyderabad, whereby he is arrayed as accused and facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 13(2) read with 13(1)(d) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and 120- B, 420 and 471 of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. After arguing for some time, when this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioner, learned counsel for the petitioner-accused confined his arguments by withdrawing the main prayer, prayed this court to dispense with the presence of the petitioner before the court below. 4. On perusal of the charge sheet, which is filed by the respondent-police after completion of due investigation, there are some prima facie allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings at this stage and the present petition is liable to be dismissed. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is inclined to dispense with the presence of the petitioner before the trial court. Accordingly, the presence of the petitioner-accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 20th September 2011, Rns.
