THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7308 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/A-3 to A-5 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.195 of 2011 on the file of the Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bapatla, wherein they are facing trial for the offences punishable under Sections 120(b), 465, 468, 469 and 471 IPC. The main contention urged by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners are in no way connected with the present crime and there are no specific allegations against them. He further submitted that there are civil suits pending between the 2nd respondent-defacto complainant and Accused No.1 in the case. Perused the record and the complaint of the defacto-complaint. This Court is of the view that the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners are all disputed facts that can be raised at the time of trial and they cannot be considered as genuine grounds to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. Hence, the criminal petition is devoid of merits. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. In any event, considering the nature of allegations, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 19.08.2011 v v
