THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1330 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in D.D.R.(Day Dairy Register)No.8431 of 2009 on the file of the III Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam District, whereby the learned Magistrate insisting for their presence for every adjournment without taking cognizance or without forwarding the complaint filed by the complainant under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. Heard both sides. Without going into the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that without taking cognizance, learned Magistrate insisting the petitioners to appear before the court is nothing but abuse of process of law. Hence, the present petition is disposed of with the following observation: “The petitioners presence before the trial Court is dispensed with since there is no necessity for them to appear before the court concerned when there is no cognizance taken by the learned Magistrate.” Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 16th March 2011, Rns.
