THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1211 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioners – A2 to A9 seeking to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.1 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District, whereby they are facing charge under Sections 302, 201 and 506 read with 34 of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are no way concerned with the alleged offence and the entire allegations are against A-1 only and the petitioners are arrayed as accused due to political rivalry. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners-accused withdrawing the main prayer, confined his arguments requesting the Court to dispense with the presence of the petitioners before the court below. 4. Since the allegations made against the petitioners and other accused are punishable under Sections 302, 201 and 506 read with 34 of IPC, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the presence of the petitioners before the Court below is hereby dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their 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. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 9th February 2011, Rns.
